Talking Tuesday
Share your thoughts, feelings, and stories as well as respond to others regarding these questions:
What is something peculiar that you and your spouse (or significant other) do that most people don’t know about? (Keep it clean please 
)
I’ll get us started …
Alright, admittedly, I know this is odd, but I’m going to share regardless hoping everyone doesn’t hold it against us. My husband and I pull each other’s toes to crack them. To be honest I have no idea how this began. I can’t imagine we had a discussion about cracking toes where we then asked if we could pull the other’s toes. In fact, I hate feet, which further exasperated the weirdness of this admission. But, there you have it …
Okay, it’s your turn!

I like this Tuesday’s question because it is more fun than serious. My husband has a great memory. One of the things he remembers are lines from movies. If a situation comes up where a line from a movie will fit in he will repeat it. I have picked-up on this habit and he will start it, repeat one line, then I will repeat another. It is strange, however it makes us laugh. Some of the movies are Spaceballs, The Burbs, A Few Good Men and True Lies.

Vicki, I’m glad you liked this week’s question. I definitely like to try and have more light-hearted and fun questions; if you ever have any suggestions, just email me your idea. My hubs and I enjoy quoting movie lines too, and then we try and guess which movie it’s from. Sounds like you guys have some fun with your movie lines! Thanks for sharing!

“On purpose” typos in our text messages to each other, making the messages even more personal.
Ruth and I have iPhones and typically the autocorrect takes charge of simple text messages. When we encounter an autocorrect, in the future it could become purposely typed that way to spark a smile on the the receiving end. “Rolling out” has now become “Tolling out” and “Time to run” is now “Time to rum.”
Sometimes we’ll verbally say the “typo phrase” further perpetuating the “mistakes.”

My husband and I rap about how much we love other. We are big dorks.

That’s an interesting way to get close and share, Ashley. Since you hate feet, I guess I must admit that I kinda fall into that category myself, but I have to say that my wife has no problem with feet. As a matter-of-fact, she asks me to please rub her feet at the end of the day, using hand lotion, which I will do, though reluctantly. But one thing I do know is that it so relaxes her and makes her aching feet feel better, to the point that she actually has better quality sleep. The only problem for me is that I tend to get sleepy doing so and no matter how long I rub, it’s not enough for her. There are times though, that I know it means so much to her, that I just have to do it for that reason, and because I love her. Rubbing feet is a “love language” in her book.

Rick, I can understand why your wife loves foot rubs, as I do too! There is something about them that just relaxes the entire body and mind. It’s nice that you push through to speak her love language even when that isn’t your own — that’s when true love is communicated. Thanks for sharing and kicking off our conversation!
