We should always strive to make our marriage a top priority no matter what life brings. Constant communication, intentional quality time, and laughter keep us focused on building our relationship with each other. Marriage can be the most important relationship in your life and needs constant care and attention. When two people spend a lot of time together and start to share a life they are bound to disagree from time to time. These disagreements can be big or small, ranging from failing to complete a chore to what our financial situation is. Laura Heck shares a few helpful insights from her time as a marriage and family therapist. Strength Versus Structure (1:50:07) Timothy Pychyl, Ph.D, is the director of the Procrastination Research Group at Carleton University. Sometimes we don’t get things done because we are too busy or too stressed or depressed. Sometimes we procrastinate because we don’t know how to accomplish a task or don’t have enough resources. But have you ever procrastinated simply because you “just didn’t feel like doing anything”? Even when we are at our healthiest and most energetic times, sometimes we just don’t feel like getting things done.  Dr. Pychyl discusses how to combat procrastination and how structure and habits create a cushion to fall back on when we don’t have the strength to keep going or simply just don’t want to.
