We are so busy that we have almost no time together. Is it enough to spend a little time each day?

Fifteen minutes of full attention every day strengthens a relationship more than a full day together filled with distractions. A short, regular time becomes a pillar the couple can lean on amid the busyness. Choose the most realistic time, perhaps before bed or after Subuh, and protect it from phones and work. Use it to ask how each other really is, not just about tasks. If the day truly does not allow it, send one meaningful message. Consistency matters more than the amount of time. A relationship, like a plant, lives on small, frequent watering, not an occasional flood. See everyday adab.
