Summary
A relationship book for people who are too busy for relationship books

Life is busy. By the time you’re done with work, packing the kids’ lunches, responding to the group chat, cleaning the kitchen, and scrolling for longer than you meant to, there’s no time left for love. You stop checking in with your partner, date nights fall off the calendar, and everything else somehow takes priority over your relationship.

In Busy Love, authors and relationship coaches Kaley and Nate Klemp offer a new solution to the relationship challenge of our time: staying connected in a time of constant busyness. Busy Love outlines a seven-step guide for shifting from Love by Accident, where you allow random chance and the mess of everyday life to shape your relationship, to Love by Design, where you get to create the life and relationship you most want.

Drawing from their own marriage and interviews with busy couples, the Klemps outline twenty-seven easy-to-implement tools that will help you:
  1. Break the cycle of busyness and create more space for love.
  2. Do the inner work to become the partner you want to be.
  3. Turn everyday moments into opportunities for deeper connection.
  4. Approach money as a team instead of allowing it to create conflict.
  5. Streamline the logistics of running a life together.
  6. Stop friends, family, and work from interfering in your relationship.
  7. Stay connected in a world of constant distraction and crisis.
You probably can’t get rid of life’s busyness, but with a little time, intention, and care, you and your partner can reprioritize love, and design a relationship that allows you to stay connected, even in the midst of life’s chaos.

“Kaley and Nate Klemp have written the relationship book for our busy times. Rich in story and packed with practical insights, the book is designed for people with full lives who also want fulfillment in love. It’s also gracefully written, always a pleasure (especially if you’re in a hurry!).” —Gay Hendricks, author of The Big Leap and coauthor of Conscious Loving

“In the relentless swirl of busyness of our modern age, what we most yearn for can feel like an impossible dream: unhurried time for ourselves, our lives, and for the partner we often put at the bottom of our very long to-do lists. In Busy Love, relationship experts Kaley and Nate Klemp provide an insightful and practical step-by-step guide to help us disrupt the busyness doom loop and reclaim our time, deepen our connections, and live with intention instead of by accident.” —Brigid Schulte, award-winning journalist and author of Over Work and the New York Times bestselling Overwhelmed

“Busy Love is a practical guide for couples who want to be more intentional about the most important partnership in their lives.

This book gives couples a clear system for creating more connection in a world that keeps pulling them apart.” —Gino Wickman, author of Traction, coauthor of Shine, and creator of Entrepreneurial Operating System

“I’ve spent decades helping entrepreneurs build the systems that scale great companies, but the most important operating system you’ll ever build may be the one for your relationship. Busy Love gives couples a clear framework, a common language, and the regular habits to turn good intentions into lasting connection.” —Verne Harnish, author of Scaling Up and founder of Entrepreneurs’ Organization
