ADVICE

Schedule Intentional Couple Time

  • Build intentional, scheduled quality time together to connect with your spouse despite busy lives and different interests.
  • Map out childcare, work projects, and schedule small, simple shared experiences like a couch date or weekly talks.
INSIGHT

Separate Interests Build Intimacy

  • Having separate interests within marriage creates intimacy by revealing new facets of each other.
  • Excelling individually and occasionally sharing passions strengthens connection rather than requiring identical hobbies.
ADVICE

Clear Communication and Repair

  • Speak your needs clearly instead of expecting mind reading in marriage.
  • Accept mistakes and practice repair conversations to sustain connection despite imperfections.
