I generally read every night befi=ore I fall asleep: Brad does too. I find it comforting to lie beside my husband, each of us with a book in our hands. I see it as a period of calm and intimacy, and as the perfect metaphor-together, yet individual-for our marriage. Debbie Macomber
About This Quote

In this quote, a husband and a wife are both reading a book. While this may be a way to bond with one another, it is also a way for the couple to read without being interrupted or disturbed by each other. For instance, if the husband is reading a book about war while the wife is reading a book about love, it will be frustrating for both of them. Although they may want to share their love for the stories they are reading, they may not get the chance because of distractions from outside of their bedroom.
