Stretching ourselves too thin is an act of pride that harms our most important relationships. It often feels safer, easier, and less vulnerable to invest our energy in work than to cultivate intimacy with another human being.
Seven Principles Marriage requires ongoing investment and continued commitment, not merely initial effort. We will never outgrow the need for fun activities, meaningful conversations, and intentionally intimate connection. Relational routines breed consistency, and structure often precedes spontaneity. Sometimes the healthiest step we can take in our marriage is to change our career or reduce our working hours.
