Pat went to a couple retreat for soon to be married couples and learn two things you should stop/limit to strengthen your relationship. 

• watching TV
• consuming news

... both seem to be time wasting for couples. Pat extended this insights to business. True, instead of starring into your television set or reading a newspaper you could work. You could also limit your sleeping hours and your spare time. Leisure is overrated anyway. ... sorry, but if your relationship is trouble because of TV and news your problem lies much deeper ...

Pats retreat happened in a secluded monastery. They had no TV or internet. Some participants asked the group leader for news from the outside world. ... if you feel cut off from the world within a single weekend, there is definitely something wrong ... I doubt stopping watching TV or the news will help ... come one, it was a "couple retreat for soon to be married couples" not a "retreat for soon to be divorced ones" ...

... back to the story. Their group leader went home and printed some news sites from the internet ... that Hugh Heffner was cheated on ... sorry again, that's not news, that's gossip ...

And now the conclusion: If watch TV to avoid your work ... limit your TV time. If you equal news and gossip and can't be without ... limit that, too ... otherwise, you are fine ...
