Bill and I have been together for over 20 years so we are well aware of the key elements to a successful relationship. But for over a year now, the two of us have a new commitment: keto. So, how does our new passion for food impact our relationship? We look at this in a 5-part series of blogs about being Married to Keto. Today is gaining better communication with Keto.
The first key element is love and commitment, the second key element is having a healthy, strong sex life. The third is making time for each other. You can read the series so far here.
Communication With Keto Creates a Bond
Bill and I have always had great communication. We never seem to run out of things to talk about. We used to live in Ontario but our family was in Nova Scotia and we would drive back and forth. Talking for 26 straight hours was not an issue!
In the last several years, with our daughter out of the house, we got into the rut of being together but doing individual activities, like playing on our phones or watching T.V. It’s easy to do, especially when you work full time and talk to your coworkers all day. Once we started keto, we found we were always talking again.
Communication With Keto Blends Well With Making Time For Each Other
In Part 3 of this series, I wrote about all the time we spend together prepping, cooking, and planning meals. We are talking during all of that. We use that time to tell each other about our days and plan our time for the weekends. With this blog and our books that are for sale, we are also now talking about blog ideas, website design, and where we are with our next book. We are constantly business planning and thinking about how this business will take us into our retirement.
More than that, our communication is positive. We have never been ones to yell at each other or say things to hurt each other. There was a time, though, that we felt more negatively about ourselves and that caused us to look at life from a negative perspective. But now, we are happier with ourselves and positive about our lifestyle.
Keto Has Improved Our Lifestyle
We eat delicious food guilt-free, we feel healthier and we have more energy. Our conversations are focused on the successes we have shared and our dreams for the future. We dream of living in a place that does not have snow in the winter and we are hopeful that this business and our passion for the keto lifestyle will take us there.
Keto has given us a new focus and new purpose for our lives. We enjoy sharing information about it and coming up with new ideas. We spend literally hours talking about what to share with our readers next. Keto keeps our communication flowing.
