Are You In a Media-Driven Marriage?
By Jennifer Waddle I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me. A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil. (Psalm 101:3-4) Every time my husband and I finish a television series, we immediately look for another one to take its place. And when we can't find one, we sometimes look at each other as if to say, what now? Sadly, we've allowed much of our time together to be driven by media, focused on mindless activity that doesn't foster closeness or communication. Perhaps you and your spouse can relate. I don't know about you, but I think it's time to start a new trend—a trend that encourages couples to turn off the media and simply be together. I imagine it would seem awkward at first, as the habit to pick up our phones or flip through the television channels would be difficult to break. But I also imagine, over time, couples would reconnect in ways they'd never before experienced.
