Good afternoon Reader!
It's a rainy Thursday where we live, and here’s a question we want you to sit with before you read another word.
If your spouse had to describe what you actually did today, could they? Not your job title or the general shape of your job. The real texture: what stressed you out, what you’re proud of, what’s still sitting on your mind right now. Would the default to home-life or work?
For a lot of couples, the honest answer is no. That’s not a crisis. It’s just a sign that curiosity has quietly slipped out of the daily life-mode somewhere along the way.
This week on Home to Haven, we’re talking about why that happens, even in strong marriages, and what it looks like to rebuild the habit of actually knowing your spouse’s day, not just their schedule or task list.
Three signs curiosity has faded:
- “How was your day” gets a one-word answer and nobody follows up
- You could describe your spouse’s calendar better than their heart
- You’ve stopped being surprised by anything they tell you
One question to ask tonight:
“What’s one thing that happened today that made you smile?”
It’s small. It’s specific. And it works precisely because it requires a real answer.
Philippians 2:3-4 tells us to look not only to our own interests, but to the interests of others. That includes the person across the dinner table from you tonight.
