5. It keeps you engaged in each other’s lives.
Videos by InspireMore
Sadly, I hear from too many married couples who are stuck in a lonely, unengaged existence. Some are nothing more than roommates living separate lives like passing ships in the night. They wake up, say “hello,”go to work without a call or text to one another all day, come home, run the kids to where they need to go, eat dinner without a word or in separate places, maybe meet up with a friend or focus all their attention on the kids at night, say “goodnight,”and go to bed…in two different worlds…a million miles apart. What happened? They stopped engaging in the “everyday moments.”They stopped talking. They stopped trying. They assumed they could do it all on their own, and they did. Why be married if you want to go it alone?
