"Make time for your marriage. Take a day off, an evening away, some time with no phones, doorbells, or other distractions.
A very busy man was always promising his wife to take time off to be alone with her, but it never worked out. He just didn't have the time in his day, he said. She had no doubt he was truly busy with important things.
One day, she told him that one of his biggest supporters had called saying he would be coming to town. She told him she scheduled a meeting for them in the lobby of the hotel where the big supporter would be staying. Her husband duly and gratefully marked the appointment on his calendar.
When he showed up to the appointment with two hours cleared to spend with his supporter, he found his wife waiting for him. She said, "I am your biggest supporter, and I need some time with you."
Realize who your biggest supporter really is and give him/her the time and attention s/he needs and deserves. Ultimately, your relationship stands to profit."
