Ashley and Dave Willis say time is the currency of relationships. Audit your calendar and spending to see where your marriage actually ranks. If it's not prioritized, create daily rituals like greeting each other well and adjust routines, like putting kids to bed earlier, to protect couple time.

you prioritize your time, okay? Like we said before, Dave often says, "Time is the currency of relationships." And so you have to look at your calendar first and foremost and see where are you prioritizing your marriage? You know, we often do this with couples. We'll say like, "Hey, look at your calendar. Where do you show your marriage as a priority? Like in your day-to-day, in your week-to-week, in your month-to-month." And I know this can sometimes be stepping on some toes, but it's a very easy way to see where you're prioritizing each other. And if you are, or if you are not, you can also look at your bank account and say, where are you spending your money? You know, 'cause that shows where our treasure is, where we spend our time and our money, right? And so just really take a long, hard look at that. And if you don't find that you are spending any time together and prioritizing time together, then start doing that. Start with looking at your day. How do you end your day? How do you start your day? Make sure that you're making time to send each other off well and greet each other at the end of the day well. And then make sure even in the midst of having young children that maybe you put them to bed earlier than they would like, or earlier than most kids their age.
