3 things your PHONE reveals about your MARRIAGE

3. Check your photos. The amount of the pictures of your spouse and pictures of the two of you together on your phone is visible evidence of how much (or how little) you’re really part of each other’s lives.

This one is going to step on some toes because you might say that you don’t like being in pictures or your spouse doesn’t like being in pictures, but even still, I’m convinced that what’s in your photos reveals a lot about what’s in your priorities. If it’s ALL pictures of the kids, that’s out-of-balance. Yes, we should take plenty of pictures of the kids, but if there are no pictures of your spouse or no pictures of the two of you together, you need to ask yourself, “Is my spouse a minor SUPPORTING CHARACTER in my life or a major LEAD CHARACTER in my life?” Ponder that. I’m not saying you’ve got to be constantly taking selfies together, but pictures of your spouse and pictures with your spouse are a visible way of declaring, “My marriage matters to me. My spouse is a priority to me. Our lives are connected and shared with each other in every way. We LOVE each other.”
