Time-Starved Marriage

When did “us” get squeezed out?

Most couples don’t choose to drift apart. It just… happens.

You love each other. You’re doing your best. But somewhere between the morning rush, endless work emails, and kids’ bedtime routines, "us" quietly slipped to the bottom of the list.

It’s not that your marriage is broken—it’s buried. Under good, important things.

But here’s the truth: strong marriages don’t just need love. They need time. On purpose.

Actionable Tip:

Name one thing you miss doing together—and do it this week.

Maybe it’s laughing over takeout. Maybe it’s a walk without kids. Maybe it’s just sitting on the porch and breathing the same air.

You don’t need a retreat. You need a moment.

Start there. Reclaim just one moment. Then guard it like it matters—because it does.
