There’s nothing quite like getting nap-trapped into a good movie late at night with one’s husband. I wanted a feel-good film for a bit before bed tonight. I also really wanted to snuggle with my husband. My husband understood that I was feeling lonely and needy physically, so he snuggled up to me voluntarily as I started the movie. I don’t think he intended to stay for the whole film. However, I had intentionally picked a movie I knew he liked so that he would stay with me at least a bit longer – he tends to run away almost immediately on movies he doesn’t like. So, he stayed because he was engrossed in the movie, as we both easily could have predicted based on the movie selection. He then stayed the entire film because he was so tired, he fell asleep. I hadn’t intended to watch the whole film. But he was so sweet curled up with me, and it felt just so wonderfully cozy and loving and fulfilling being with him on the sofa (halfway trapped underneath his head and with my legs squashed between his). So, I had kind of trapped him initially, and then he kind of trapped me. The result was that we both stayed cuddled on the sofa for the whole film together, and it was lovely and needed by us both.
Thank you, God. Please, guide us always clearly and kindly. Make us well and keep us safe and together, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
