A surviving marriage does not happen all at once. In this age, people are very busy. Their responsibilities and workload have increased. There are millions of things to easily give attention to instead of a partner. For example, consider a conversation that took place in the kitchen. As if you are a partner who runs the house, sentences like this can be used. "Did you pay the bills? This week it's your turn to do the laundry. We will go shopping for dinner. Please stop by the carpenter on the way to school. Did you find someone to repair the roof of the house?” And many more sentences designed for you can be added here. While listening to these conversations from the outside, it seems like the smoothest and most catchy phrase to say that you are running a kind of family business. Well, while all this is happening, there are some ways that you can pay attention to, tighten your bonds and carry you to a warmer atmosphere.

Details deepen you. A healthy and enjoyable marriage does not happen by itself. Minds are always full of work, payments, children, friends, hobbies and more. It is a delicacy to be able to pay attention to the presence of your spouse as you go back and forth between all these. When you really give him your focus, you'll see that it's worth it.
