October 13, 2009Comment: date request via email

Filed under: Reader Stories by merylrunion |

In the spirit of “Daddy’s birthday observed,” The Detective Mom quotes a story from PowerPhrases! when she writes about an email date request she received from her hubby.  He chose email even though they had been online in the same room together for hours.

There’s nothing wrong with augmenting relationships with email… as long as we don’t forget to get personal often enough to nourish each other.  Expediency has its place – and so does romance.
