1.6 - Marriage “Breathing”

Long term marriages “breath”. Healthy marriages “breath-in” (connect) by spending time together, and “breath-out” (distance) by spending time apart. The connecting times are not simply being in the same place at the same time, but rather are times of engaging with each other. Likewise, the

distancing times are not simply time apart, but rather intentionally doing something that is “life-giving” but is best done apart from each other.
