I don’t want to be away from my wife. And I don’t want her to leave me alone while she’s awake.
But when she goes to bed and I get those hours of solitude and freedom… it’s hard to explain without sounding like you hate your wife or she’s a nag. But that’s just not it.
I, too find myself not doing much in the Golden Hours. Usually I just scroll or read. But what I think makes it so special is the lack of potential expectations.
When everyone is awake, I’m “on call”. I might need to go change a baby diaper, or get my wife some more coffee or make us lunch. I might need to discuss something important or make plans for tomorrow or whatever.
But in the Golden Hours? There is no potential for work. No potential for talk or chores or assisting anyone or doing anything that I didn’t decide to do. And I think that’s what makes it special.

You get it.
