Most couples have never read a book together, non fiction.
If no new healthy ideas are being introduced, the bad media will bring you down. Books make you both grow. Nothing else will.

I deliberately waited for years before buying a color TV in the hopes that my wife would get tired of sitting slack-jawed on the couch watching TV. It didn’t work. The whole twelve years we were married, I don’t think she ever picked up a book.
