Spend Quality Time Together

Many couples admit they don’t talk much, even when they are physically together. Why does this happen, and how can it be improved?

Together but Distant — Why?

  • Fatigue: After a long day, one partner may be too tired to engage, leading to irritation or silence.

  • Internet distractions: Hours can slip away on social media, leaving little room for meaningful conversation.

  • Different interests: One spouse may relax with hobbies while the other longs for shared time.

  • Work overload: Technology makes it easy to keep working at home, stealing time from family moments.

What You Can Do

Remember: Quality time together is not a luxury — it is a necessity.

📖 Bible principle: “Make sure of the more important things.” — Philippians 1:10

💡 Tip: Plan intentional moments together without distractions. Show your spouse that they are a priority, not an afterthought.

Learn to Ignore the Phone

📖 Bible principle: “For everything there is an appointed time.” — Ecclesiastes 3:1

💡 Tip: Try to share at least one meal daily without phones nearby. Meals are perfect opportunities to talk about the day.

Do Household Tasks Together

📖 Bible principle: “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their hard work.” — Ecclesiastes 4:9 (footnote)

💡 Tip: Treat chores like shopping, cooking, or cleaning as opportunities to bond, not just obligations.

Keep Expectations Realistic

📖 Bible principle: “Let your reasonableness become known.” — Philippians 4:5

💡 Tip: Discuss each other’s needs openly. Agree on how to spend time in ways that satisfy both, balancing energy, health, and responsibilities.
