FocusOnTheFamily_LogoSmall You’ve heard that a brisk walk around the block is good for your heart, but did you know it can also be good for your marriage?

Communication is critical to any relationship, and too many couples are so busy that they never take time to just talk and share their feelings with each other.

When we’re home, it’s too easy to just sit in front of the TV.

Try setting aside a couple of evenings each week to get out of the house and do things together.

You can go for a short walk down the street, or have a picnic at MacRitchie Reservoir, or even saunter along the beach at East Coast Parkway.

Whatever you do, make sure you do it together, and use the time to talk. It’s amazing how a relaxing family outing can open up lines of communication.

And that’s something every marriage needs.
