It makes him feel uncomfortable and, frankly, it irritates me.

Alone Together: How to Reignite Meaningful Conversations in Marriage
Even as I attempt to be somewhat discreet, I can never resist stealing a glance at couples seated in restaurants. More often than not, the two are either staring at their respective cell phones or simply silently eating. Are they comfortable or careless? Content or complacent? I worry that that silent time may be more often simply passive or resigned than thoughtfully intentional.
