Make Time Each Day to Connect
Some of the hardest times during residency were when we went days or weeks without spending quality time together. There were times we only crossed paths a few times a week. Over the years, we learned how important it was to connect every day. My suggestion: no matter what time of day or night you come home, put aside all other things and reconnect. Talk about her day. Take a walk in the neighborhood. Snuggle up to a movie. Plan your next vacation. Read a book together. Whatever your “thing” is, do that. And do it regularly. Think back to the things you enjoyed doing together when you were dating. Those activities bonded you together then and will keep you connected now. {Medical Marriage Tip #10}
