When couples want to slow down together but can't break the efficiency habit

My partner and I keep talking about wanting a slower, more leisurely way of living—long dinners, afternoon walks, real conversations—but we're both so programmed for efficiency that we rush through everything and then feel guilty about not savoring the moment.
