Life is so busy it's easy to take your partner in love and life for granted. We treat our family as the discretionary fund - the ones we can steal time & energy away from because "they'll understand". But without ongoing water & nutrients, our relationships can start to wilt. 
We have to learn to save some time and energy for our loved ones on a daily basis. Small acts of caring behaviors toward each other are essential for a relationship to thrive and create a buffer for the inevitable human flaws that will show up. So give your partner a little time and attention each day to insure your relationship health!
