Amoris Laetitia - Par. 225


225.  Couples who have learned how to do this well can share some practical suggestions which they have found useful:  planning free time together, moments of recreation with the children, different ways of celebrating important events, shared opportunities for spiritual growth.  They can also provide resources that help young married couples to make those moments meaningful and loving, and thus to improve their communication.  This is extremely important for the stage when the novelty of marriage has worn off.  Once a couple no longer knows how to spend time together, one or both of them will end up taking refuge in gadgets, finding other commitments, seeking the embrace of another, or simply looking for ways to flee what has become an uncomfortable closeness.
