You’re busy. Life’s busy. Is your calendar wrecking your marriage?
Too much to do. Too many activities. The schedule is bursting at the seams. You can’t catch a break and neither can your marriage.

In building a strong marriage, you must remember there is more than one person involved in daily commitments, daily responsibilities. And when you add in the children’s activities, you’ve more than tripled the busyness.
But what’s the typical scenario?
You control the calendar. You make the decisions. You say “yes” more than “no”.
Is your calendar wrecking your marriage?
Now, we don’t do this on purpose. We believe we are fulfilling our responsibility in keeping the family calendar in check. Your husband is focused on his job and you’ve been knighted the “calendar keeper”.
But have you?
Believe it or not, your husband wants to be kept in the loop as to what’s on the calendar. He wants the opportunity to say yes or no to commitments also. He doesn’t like surprises. And he wants to be included.
If you’re a woman who hoards the calendar, you are wrecking your marriage.
We need to be mindful of our control reflexes. When you said “I do”, it’s “We do!”.
So how do you prevent your calendar from wrecking your marriage?
It all boils down to communication. Remove the assumptions and…
