Dennis Rainey: How are you using the most productive hours of your day? I'd like to challenge every husband and wife to save some of their most productive time for one another.
It's easy to use up all of our energy during the day and have nothing left for our mate. Jobs get our best. Children get our best. Hobbies, civic duty, and church work get the rest of our best. Many couples find themselves trying to squeeze romance in between the evening news and David Letterman's top ten list. In order to develop intimacy in marriage, a couple needs to unplug, get away, and spend some meaningful time together.
One final thought. If I've learned anything in marriage, it's that romance and intimacy take time. And they deserve our best. This week, why don't you spend some of your most productive time planning a romantic getaway with your spouse?
I’m Dennis Rainey, and that’s Real FamilyLife.
