Celia Walden Marriage Sabbatical
In August 2022, Walden came to the end of a six-week marriage sabbatical – as in, six weeks away from her husband and marriage.
“It’s the longest we’ve spent apart since the start of the pandemic. In fact, I don’t think we’ve spent more than a couple of nights apart for over two years, and he’ll agree with me when I say: every married couple (who has lived through three lockdowns) should do this,” Walden says.
“You know when your computer becomes painfully slow without any discernible cause and the answer is always to “switch it off at the mains and restart”? That’s what a marriage sabbatical does.”
“There was nothing wrong. We weren’t glitching. It wasn’t like the little rainbow wheel known as ‘Satan’s beachball’ had started turning in my head every time he spoke (although I can’t speak for him). But when you consider how unnatural it was to spend every waking hour in your other half’s company for all those long months, it’s a miracle any couple – married or not – made it through unscathed,” she adds.
