Today I spent the day at the beach, beautiful day with friends. After we stopped to get something to eat.

It was on the water, when we were done we walked to the back near the water and sat with our drinks in the beautiful backyard waterfront section.

Other people started doing the same, there were 2 couples , both sets were married, and both women were on their phones. The men weren’t, and tried to make small talk but that’s all it was, they both continued on their phones.

Now I know there’s 3 sides to every story, but being twice their age, I felt that those women should have had their phones put away and be in the moment with their husbands.

Marriage is hard as it is, you need presence especially on date nights. It’s hard work especially if you want it to work for the long run.
