Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman, MSc Psych

The longer you’re together, the more you have to fight against complacency. Life will pull your attention in every direction, and we know you’re both exhausted. But connection is what we all crave deep down!

You don’t just want to run around getting things done, giving your kids a great life, and not experience love and intimacy in your partnership, do you? We’d guess no.

So here’s the perspective shift that changed things in our marriage: connection has to fit into real life moments.

We stopped waiting to magically have hours of undistracted time together where we weren’t also exhausted, and started focusing on how to mix connection into the moments we were already living.

Is it difficult at times to remember this and not get distracted by life? Yes. But isn’t it even more difficult to grow apart and feel like roommates because you deprioritized the relationship? YES.

Use this as motivation to make connection a true priority!
