Honor set family time – After a long day from work, you might want to relax. It might be tempting to get on the IPhone. One way to combat that temptation is by connecting with your family.

If you are spending quality time with your spouse, they won’t feel neglected.  Honor family time and connect with your spouse without distractions. That means do not even entertain the idea of bringing the phone to the dinner table.

Prioritize conversation with your spouse – When you are talking with your spouse and using an electronic device simultaneously, you are sending one message and one message alone – you do not deserve my undivided attention. Whether it is a 15 minutes chat or a long conversation on the couch, prioritize the conversation. Besides, if you are on the phone or on a tablet, you are not listening.

Respect your spouse – The tablet or the phone will not walk away. Consequently, it is a sign of disrespect to focus your attention on an electronic device when you have your spouse requesting your attention. Give your spouse the respect that he/she needs and deserves.
