How to Use Time and Attention to Improve Your Relationship

time and attention in marriage

First the Inspiration for this article, 

This blog post is inspired by this past weekend, as my girl was not feeling well at all. 

The other night, I just laid there with her, it didn’t cost me much, but what I did was give her my time (laying there with her in bed), and attention that says Hey I’m here for you, what do you need? 

And yes, the next day as she was still sick, I door dashed her a little medicine bag, which of course she loved. 

So how is this something you can pay forward in your relationship or marriage?

Simple, it's freaking free. 

When you walk in that door, ask them how was your day, tell me everything. 

You know what to keep it real at first, that’s o.k, that just means it’s not that important or emotionally compelling to share with you, cool. 

But if you wait for a little, guess what something about her day is going to come out, whether it be a phone call with a friend, a meeting, or something that reminded her of you or something. 

That’s where your time and attention can really make the difference, it’s your job at that point to just listen and let her empty the gas tank. 

Back again to the inspiration for this blog post. If your wife or girl is not feeling well, there is that little thing you can do, you’re not a doctor, and can’t make them better (o.k. fine, someone reading this can easily be one, or a nurse). 

You can give them your time, attention, and presence, but How…

Sit with them, let them feel you’re presence, you're there for them, you empathize with their pain, sore throat, fever, whatever the hell. 

Look them in the eye, and just say hey look, whatever you need you just tell me, I got you. 

Giving your spouse, partner, wife, girlfriend time and attention can be and often is free. Just do it, be mindful, be present, it goes such a long way. 

What I offer in my coaching is really finding out what you’re day to day looks like, and where those places are for time and attention, and also what your wife or girlfriend's response is to it, and how to fine tune that approach so that we feel we are truly giving our time and attention in a way that is both giving to our spouse, but also feels right to else at the same time.
