A Thought for Married Couples What have you done for your marriage today? How much time will you spend with your spouse today? Some studies say that the average couple spends only 20 minutes a day together. Do you need to increase face time? On your wedding day you promised to love each other for better or worse. What is a “for better” that your spouse has made in your life? Share it before you go to bed tonight.
