Your life is busy, and it’s not likely to get less busy anytime soon. And maybe, like a lot of women, you wonder how all of that busyness is affecting your marriage. Between school and jobs and children’s activities and the house and the yard, it seems like your marriage often falls to the bottom of your to-do list. Even though you really want to give it higher priority.
That’s what this brief ebook is about – making time for your marriage and enjoying the time you spend with your husband. It offers some simple suggestions for changing your priorities and your schedule in ways that benefit you, your husband, and your marriage. And let me say right up front that by “simple” I mean “not complicated,” rather than “easy to do.” Making these changes probably won’t be easy to do, because they involve changing habits, patterns, and schedules that developed over many years. So give yourself some grace and approach these changes with the knowledge that making them may require two steps forward and one step back for a while.
The ebook focuses on three main topics – the importance of setting aside time to invest in your marriage, tips for making time with your husband happen, and strategies for overcoming roadblocks. I hope you’ll download it and, if you think it’s helpful, share it with your friends.

I agree, it is challenging. There are nights when Bill will be sitting on the couch in the same room trying to get my attention as I work on the computer, asking me to look at the amazing program he was watching. I need to stop ignoring him like that. Great post!

Thanks so much, Carlyn. It is so easy to get caught up in or own stuff and forget about connecting with our husbands.

It is definitely a challenge to make quality time with my husband a priority. You would think 15 minutes a day wouldn’t be hard to fit in, but with 3 kids and 2 jobs – it is! I’m interested in reading some of your tips!

Hi Angela – You’re right – it seems like 15 minutes should be easy, but it isn’t. I find that we have to be really intentional about it, and even more so when our kids were young.
