Facebook or Face Time ?

So the wedding is finally over and eventually you'll write those "thank-you" notes. You're back from your honeymoon, looking forward to a life of romance, intimacy, and deep friendship.

Should happen, right?

But both of you are working, life is busy, and before you know it --- you look and sound like some of the 'old married couples' you know. So how did you up HERE???

We work with 20-something married couples all the time; here's what you need to know.

Would you believe a 20-something married guy spends HOURS a day playing on-line video games, but MINUTES a day in meaningful, engaging conversation with his wife?

Would you believe a 20-something married gal spends HOURS a day updating her Facebook page and connecting with MySpace friends, yet only MINUTES a day in face time with her guy?

Hey, maybe that's not the pathway to true intimacy.

Remember those long walks, coffee dates, and hours spent talking on the phone? You were madly in love and it showed --- EVERYONE noticed.

Hey, it's time to get back to the future.

Send each other silly text messages while you're at work.

Buy each other small gifts for no reason, without waiting for a special occasion.

Do a chore around the house --- because it's there, not because someone asked.

Find your partner's laptop and sit there.
