Real-Life Romance Action #2: Spend time together, regardless of what you’re doing.
It turns out that spending time together strengthens your marriage, no matter what you are doing.
This is where breakfast with the in-laws or dinner with your friends from church does count. This is where doing a hobby together, sitting on the couch and watching TV, or hiking with the kids does make a difference in your marriage. In fact, spending time together is a powerful predictor of a happy marriage, according to survey respondents from the research for my book The Surprising Secrets of Highly Happy Marriages. Survey results showed that 83% of “very happy” couples spent time together at least weekly.
Finding ways to connect and strengthen the friendship between the two of you will always make your wife happy.
