The Importance of Being Present

Before the Internet, the mobile phone, and social media, “being present” was less of a choice and more of a given. But now, people spend much time browsing their phones instead of just talking to one another. Unfortunately, we don’t think getting everyone a dog cone is an ideal solution to this problem.

In marriages, relationships, and even dating, it’s vital to put the phone down, look the other person in the eye, and listen to what he or she is saying.
