Summary

Time is everything. In fact, it’s one of the most valuable things you have to give to the people around you…because it’s the only thing you can never get back. The past two episodes, we’ve been talking about how we protect our marriage. We started with talking about our emotions in episode 39, our interactions in episode 40, and today we’re talking about our time. Time is your most valuable commodity. But with the lures of social media, iPhones in every pocket, a dozen texts and emails to answer, and a stream of Netflix at your fingertips, it’s easy for your time to get away from you. But if you’re not careful, you can find that your time is going to the inanimate – instead of the intimate. TIME MATTERS One of the survey results I write about in Choosing Marriage, has to do with the amount of married people who report spending their time on separate hobbies and interests. There’s a lot of time getting lost on things that don’t really matter, and it’s having serious impact on our marriages. In this episode, we talk through some of the things we do in our marriage and how we prioritize our time for one another, because if you’re not intentional – it just won’t happen.
