“Adventurous” and “exciting” aren’t words many people use
to describe their marriage after a while nor would they say that about their family time. That probably wasn’t the case at the beginning of the relationship but over time most couples settle into their everyday lives and get lost in the land of monotony—the land where life seems to get away from them.
Work projects, kids’ school projects, making dinner, and saving the world … take the place of new adventures.
The bad news is that passion and fun fly out the window when there is no spontaneity in marriage. Yes, if you have kids they can become the center of your world, but you must remember where your world began … when it was just the two of you. You can’t let the excitement just die!
The good news is that introducing a little adventure and putting the spark back into your marriage isn’t difficult!
PUT INTO PRACTICE
Here are a few ideas to implement this week to add some adventure and excitement to your relationships.
