Do you and your partner or spouse shower together? My husband and I used to do it alot when we were dating. Once the kids came it made it hard because someone has to be watching the kids. Recently we've been able to start back up again because they are all in bed. So do you do it? It saves water if nothing else!

I'd say we do probably 90% of the time. Sometimes I will shave in the shower, and he'll shave at the sink, then join me when we're both done. Other times he will sit in the bathroom and talk to me while I shower. The only times we don't is when he showers in the morning before work, or if I shower while he's not home, or on the rare occasion that I just want my privacy.

WTG! with that many kids you must be doing something right to be able to have that time together. we don't do it all the time because sometimes its nice to be able to leave the kids with him, lock the door and enjoy a nice shower to myself.

It's always after the kids are in bed, of course. The last of them usually goes to bed around 9pm, hubby and I will stay up until around 11 or midnight most nights.

me and my boyfriend have not yet taken a shower together. Over at his house the shower is really small and over at my house my mom wouldn't allow it even though I'm 18. So hopefully someday soon. :)

Well, I don't blame your mom for feeling uncomfortable about that. Since I'm a mom I'll just say this. If you are going to shower with a friend....don't forget your shower cap.

My husband and i don't. My sons are teenagers(12 & 13) and would either think it's gross or laugh hysterically. That is my time to let the water relax my bones and my mind! There is nothing wrong with it,and we all have to conserve energy right? You go girl and have some fun with your husband,there's nothing wrong with keeping the flame burning:)

lol my kids are too young to think its gross. plus they are sleeping so they don't know either. i guess we'll have to cool it awhile when they get old enough to think its gross. lol

I take my shower all by myself. I come home from work first and I take my shower. My hubby comes home lots later than me from work so he showers all by himself also. It does not save water. If anything, it takes longer. Of course you're going to get distracted with other things.. if you shower with your significant other. How would it save water if two people have to wash their bodies? You're using the same amount of water if you shower together, or at seperate times.

I dont know if it saves on water, bathing is only one thing that occurs when we are in the shower. Most times my partner and I shower by ourselves, but sometimes we are spontaneous and one of us jumps in.

I am all for conserving water but when we had showered together it takes twice as long!

My husband and I used to shower together a lot when we were newly married. I loved it. But 13 years ago when we moved into our house it stopped. Our shower is not a tiny one but definitely not enough room for two. In our case, it didn't necessarily save water as we would be in there for quite sometime. .....did I mention I loved it???

We shower together whenever we get the chance. The kids don't think anything of it (they are 3, 2, and 4 months). In our house the kids bath together (boy and girl) to save water and time. The baby gets his own bath. My husband and I love the chance to talk, laugh, and feel each other up whenever we can get it.

Me & my girl friend try to take shower together as much as we can... Turns out to be about 2 - 3 times a week... Of course once in a while, if she wants to spend the night at her friends house & me & my girl friend have the house to ourselves, we spend the whole day naked... We try to keep our relationship "fresh", lol, & even though that's not the only way to do that but it suddenly helps...

No we don't. I usually take a bath at night and him on the morning. And our bathroom is small. And if we do, it wouldn't be called showering if you know what I mean. But for some, I think it's a great bonding time with your significant other.. specially when you have a tub.. cuddling each other after a long day in a tub of bubbles sure help a lot. I wish we have a larger room and a tub too.
