Re: Could you date someone who doesn't read?
My husband doesn't read the books I do, but he does read other things, and we're able to discuss things, even though our preferences are totally different. So, I guess what I'm saying is, no. I could not have married my husband if he didn't read SOMETHING on a daily basis.
And honestly, before I was married, I rarely dated anyone who didn't share a love of reading in some way. Readers are a different breed altogether, aren't we? We're thinkers!

That being said, I'm very glad my husband likes to read. We've had times where we both just sat together on the couch and read books. It was so relaxing. Also, I have two kids and I feel it's good for them to see us reading. I'm hoping when they're older they'll love to read!

That is so true. We should be able to respect the difference in taste If we want a healthy relationship. We shouldn't force our hobby on them. It will never work that way. don't you think?

I also can think of some instances where I have had to leave reading for a while, especially when you find that you need some time off to do something else. Hobbies are many and so people may not necessarily like what you like but then when you begin engaging in a conversation you learn a lot from each other.Kaylee123 wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019, 12:59 I think I could. I know a lot of people who don't like to read; they just have other hobbies and interests. Some people don't have the attention span to sit and read.
