‘Coupley’/ ‘Couply’
One of my favourite things is having conversations with Luke and Rhys. They are always interesting, thought provoking, controversial and non judgmental.
Last Sunday night after church we had one of these conversations. It was fun to just walk around talking about church and life and God. To come up with theories etc. One of my favourite parts of the evening, I have to say, was just the friendly atmosphere. It wasn’t like Rhys was a third wheel because Luke and I are married, or anything like that. It was just really like a group of friends hanging out, and I really love and sometimes miss that.
I think that one of the things that every couple goes though is a ‘couply’ stage. Where people don’t really want to be around you because it’s never ‘you’ it’s ‘us’. I’m not saying that when you’re not in the ‘coupley’ stage that you’re not just as in love, I’m just saying that you’re probably more aware of other people, and realise that time when you’re alone is a good time to be couply, and time when you’re with others is a good time to be friendly with everyone. In saying this though, I do worry about couples who don’t ever look like they’re together… it’s all a balance really.
So the long and short of this blog is that I love just ‘hanging out’ with my husband, and with friends, sometimes just as much as I love being with him, just us, and being funny and in love.

That’s really nice Talia.
Balance is definitely the key, and I also think it really helps to be able to be friend’s with your spouse too.

Aww thats a lovely blog Talia. And it was lovely to see you guys on Sunday night too! You guys are just the best!
I agree its great to have a balance. Its also important to be aware of others cause being the ‘third wheel’ is the pits!
