A marriage<br />

insight from<br />

A<strong>the</strong>nia Angi<strong>on</strong><br />

as told to Sarah<br />

Brickens<br />

REGARDLESS OF OUR<br />

BUSY SCHEDULES, my husband<br />

and I find time to c<strong>on</strong>nect each<br />

week. Since I work out of town and<br />

my husband has Fridays off, he rides<br />

with me to work so we can spend that<br />

time toge<strong>the</strong>r. He and I have made this<br />

a weekly traditi<strong>on</strong>. While driving, we<br />

listen to and discuss radio programs,<br />

plan weekend activities and make dinner<br />

plans.<br />

Once my husband drops me off,<br />

he’ll find a quiet place in town to catch<br />

up <strong>on</strong> tasks from his two jobs as a pastor<br />

and university president. When<br />

my shift is over, my husband picks me<br />

up, and we go out to eat. O<strong>the</strong>r times,<br />

my husband and I share <strong>the</strong> high and<br />

low moments of our days at dinner.<br />

No matter our schedules, we look for<br />

opportunities to transform our routines<br />

into meaningful moments in our<br />

marriage. •<br />
