Most people blame work, their phone or the kids for the distance that creeps into a relationship. But after thirty years of coaching couples, Alastair has found the real culprit is busyness itself — it quietly expands to fill every hour you don't protect. Couples who stay close don't wait for a quieter season. They claim time together on purpose, before life fills the gap for them.

This episode follows Ian and Lucy, a couple who'd slipped into feeling more like housemates than partners, down to just twenty minutes together a week. Alastair shares the three simple changes that turned things around. Plus a challenge to try this week: find and protect one block of time for your relationship — deliberately, not whatever happens to be left over.
