Committed: The Ties that Bond
with Angella Dykstra
I'm a mom of three, a professional accountant, and an amateur photographer and writer. I am not a marriage expert. But my husband and I take "Til death do us part" seriously, and here I'll be sharing how we keep our marriage strong while we both do that insane work-life juggle.

My husband (He who listens to the radio far more than I do) brought up another topic that was on our local station. They had talked about the fact that a celebrity practiced “naked Sundays” with her family and wanted to know if their listeners did something similar. I (of course) Googled it to see which celebrity it was and it is Miss Christina Aguilera. She and her husband spend Sundays naked and have continued doing so since they had their son.
Do we practice a day of nakedness around here?
I’m actually pretty comfortable in my body (I work out six days a week and eat well) and my husband is hot but no, we do not.
Before we had kids I had no problem walking naked, say, to the laundry room in order to fetch something I wanted to wear, but to spend all day in the buff is nothing I’ve ever really wanted to do. It’s not a body issue thing, it’s a comfort thing. Do I want to sit on a leather chair on a hot summer day while in the buff? Not so much. Do I want splatter from making dinner to hit me somewhere sensitive? No thank you.
We also have kids that are school age. Do I want my seven-year-old to be haunted by visions of his Mom’s post-breastfeeding boobs? I love him too much to let that happen. Throw in the fact that my twenty-year-old brother lives with us and there is no way in hell that I am naked anywhere but in the privacy of my bedroom.
How about you? Do you hang out naked? Or do you keep it covered?

We’ve thought about this - but there are too many windows in our house without proper coverings
I don’t want all the neighbors to get a show while on their afternoon walks!
It might be fun to have an evening where we cook dinner and watch a movie in the ‘buff’ though.

Um. No.

I have done it when alone (say when she’s at her dad’s. Pull the shades and strip down. It’s enjoyable. But I don’t have leather couches (I would agree, eek!)

Not full days but I do walk around naked a lot. I wouldn’t do it if we had kids, though.

No we do not…although I’m sure hubby would be more than happy if _I_ did!
I agree, it’s a comfort thing.
And of course when reading this, I completely thought of your kids, but completely forgot about your brother. Hahahahaha!

No nakedness here either.
Hannah | April 30th, 2010 at 5:23 pm
I would be cold!

Often when the kids are up before me and want the TV on, I walk out there naked (Hubby & I sleep naked) and turn on the TV, get them drinks and/or snacks etc. Also when I get out of the shower I will walk around naked somewhat. Same with Hubby. Sometimes its a real challenge to get my 3 yr old to wear clothes. But hang around all day naked? Not really.
