Marriage Problems? Try the "3x3 Rule" | The River 105.9 (2024)

Now this is something to give a try if you're having relationship issues. The 3x3 Rule! Basically, you and your partner get 3 hours a week of uninterrupted alone time. You can take those 3 hours all at once OR break it up into a half hour here, an hour there, etc. You also get 3 hours of uninterrupted TOGETHER time. Some women say this has done amazing things for their relationships.

"For about a month now, we’ve been implementing the new rule in our relationship, and I’m shocked at how much has shifted for us already,” she says, noting that because of it, “all the resentment, that silent cancer that eats away at marriages, has genuinely slipped away." She explains that knowing she has her “me time” scheduled makes her less testy, and keeps her from trying to sneak in some free time because she knows she has some coming.

She adds, “Am I more understanding about my husband’s newborn-level love of midday naps? Absolutely,” joking, “Does it still make me want to turn the vacuum on at full force and ram it into the bedroom door? Also yes. But hey - I’m only human."
