I have been married for nearly 15 years and when we hit the 12 year mark, things got a little rocky.We both work in very high pressure roles and we have two young girls.We just weren’t talking about what was going on in our heads and instead we were snappy and frustrated at each other. He has a habit of shutting down when he is frustrated and I tend o fly off the handle too quickly.Things were pretty bad and we had discussed divorce.Fast forward to last year and he convinced me to start walking with him at night (around 5km). I found night hard because I would spend the day finding excusing not to go. We shifted it to the morning and now there are no excuses.We wake up at 5.30am, have a shot of coffee and hit the road.We walk most mornings and on the weekends we take a much longer route and walk for about two hours.It has changed our lives. I feel so connected to him because we are always chatting about our lives, our dreams and our future.And the bonus is that I feel really healthy because I am getting so much exercise. Walking saved my marriage. via /r/LifeProTips
