Tell us about your morning routine.

I started having coffee with my partner in the mornings.
It started by chance one morning when I woke up earlier than usual and had extra time before I needed to head to work. I asked him if he’d like to get up and have a little coffee with me before I left. That became part of our morning routine: 10 minute coffee time.
We don’t do anything special during that time.
We don’t do make any special drinks or do any affirmations. Because we aren’t morning people, we don’t even always talk. It’s just a few minutes, sipping black coffee together, before we both go our separate ways for the day. It’s a short and simple ritual that’s come to mean a lot to me, because it encapsulates our relationship.
We like a simple life.
Big romantic gesures and extravigant gifts have never been our style. We’ve never felt that we needed to prove our love through showy performances. Instead, we show it with small words and actions every day. The life we’ve been building for ourself is full of these small, simple moments, like sharing a cup of coffee in the morning. And I couldn’t imagine it any other way.
