       Just as Jesus modeled for people, individuals need to make sure they are spending time with God, and sometimes alone with God without your spouse if you are married. And sometimes, a person needs to ‘get away.’ And for couples who work together this is going to be even a greater challenge. Since you see each other at work, you are going to have to try harder to find alone time outside of work. But it still definitely can be done. And this is a good spot for friends to come in the picture. Maybe the wife would like to get away with a female friend or group of friends and take a vacation. Or the husband the same. This can be good for each person in the marriage because it allows each person to have a break and regain some strength. It can produce growth as well. Sometimes couples have to be away from each other in order to refresh their perspectives on how much they love each other. When you are constantly with the person, it is easier to take that person for granted and to lose perspective. But breaks are in fact good.
