What research indicates: If you turn away from your partner more than you turn to your partner in these moments you will either build up a bond or break one down.  If your spouse wants too much of your time then that is another issue that should be addressed. Why do some people have happy marriages and others have a living nightmare?

Mike Rowe became famous as the "Dirty Jobs" guy on the Discovery Channel show that ran from 2005 to 2012.  He's now got a show called Somebody's Gotta Do It, and he's recently been filming episodes for that show. Over the years, Rowe has impressed people, not only with his willingness to try his hand at dangerous and dirty jobs, but for his good sense of humor and his admirable pragmatism.  That was on display when he explained that the Wuhan virus will not stop him from working on his television show.  He believes that the virus will do what it's going to do, therefore he refuses to give in to panic or stop living.

Instead, Sweden implemented a policy that was both conventional and sensible. They recommended that people maintain a safe distance between each other and they banned gatherings of 50 people or more. They also asked their elderly citizens to isolate themselves and to avoid interacting with other people as much as possible. Other than that, Swedes were encouraged to work, exercise and get on with their lives as they would normally even though the world was still in the throes of a global pandemic. The secret of Sweden’s success is that its experts settled on a strategy that was realistic, sustainable and science-based. The intention was never to “fight” the virus

Congratulations folks.  This is our new reality.  Not because it is necessary but because people think it is truly needed.  Manufactured fear and receiving those lies as truth leads to sorrow.  The bible talks much about this.  The world is going down a perilous path being lead by spiritual wickedness on high. Ephesians 6:12 KJV For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
