After 18 years together, Vanessa Marin and her partner tried a one-week rule: no screens after dark until they had sex. They say it made a huge difference, replacing scrolling with actual connection instead of the false quality time they'd been calling it.

If you have this problem in your relationship, we have a little experiment that you need to try.
For 1 week, no screen time until you've had—
We know this sounds crazy, but we tried this in our relationship and it made a huge difference. We've been together for over 18 years, and like so many couples, we found ourselves really sucked into that routine of watching TV while scrolling on our phones and pretending that that counted as quality time together.
And we realized something uncomfortable.
We were using the excuse that we didn't have enough time even though we were actually spending plenty of time on our screens.
So we decided to break the habit.
For one week at night, we did not look at any screens until after we'd had sex. If you want to see how our little experiment went, scroll back or tap down here to see what we learned.
So give no screens before sex a try and let us know how it goes.
