Make marriage time a commitment that you stick to every week. It should take priority over other demands such as work, going out with friends. playing sports, and even parenting.

Protect this time from interruptions and distractions such as the telephone, the computer, visitors, the television, and long working hours.

Tell your partner what have been the most special times you have shared together as a couple. Be  specific. Explain why they were special to you.
