Make the World Stop: Be Present with your Spouse

Sometimes we need to make the world stop.

Take the day off of work (use a ‘mental health day’).

Turn off the phone.

And spend the day with your spouse. Just the two of you. No distractions. No work.

Talk about your relationship. Talk about life. Just be together.

But most importantly, your presence, being together, and willingness to make the world stop, can show how much you value your relationship and how important your spouse is to you.

Disclaimer: I’m not saying do this all the time (your work might not like that), but when the need arises, say, if you have an issue (or issues) you need to work through, but there never seems to be the time between work and kids and bills and pets and meals and drop-offs and errands…make the world stop for a day. It’s not going anywhere. Your relationship is worth it.
