How To Share The Times When You Are Separated 
 
By Gary Chapman
 
The wife and husband should both feel responsible to share their lives with each other during the times when they are not physically together.
 
Whether at home or at work, each day you will have spent several hours away from your spouse. Your spouse cannot share this time unless you choose to communicate. Get in the habit of making all the effort necessary to share about this time.
 
It is also helpful for each partner to visit the location of the other's employment if both are working. One picture is worth a thousand words. With a visual image of your work setting, your mate will be better able to identify with you as you describe events of the day. 
 
Introduce each other to your close work associates so that when you come home and say "George was in a foul mood today," then your mate has a mental image of George and what he must look like when he is in a foul mood. 
 
Intimacy is sharing all of life. Day-to-day events are a big part of your life. Life is made up of time. Share the contents of your time each day with your spouse..
