When couples struggle with scheduling versus spontaneous presence

My partner and I have started scheduling quality time like a business meeting and it works logistically but something feels wrong about having to put presence on a calendar. We both want to be more connected but the scheduled intimacy feels forced even though it's the only way we actually make it happen.

The structure needed to create time for presence can paradoxically diminish its naturalness.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Time in relationships — the gift of presence?”
