Guest Post – Do I Like You?
It is so easy to get in a rut within your marriage. You have kids, work, church, health issues, money, (and the lack of) other family member drama and the list goes on and on. You are dog tired when you get home. Most times you don’t even want to be bothered.
I have seen far too often how two people living under the same roof can go separate ways while still living together. They have grown apart because they’re never together. They don’t like each other anymore and can’t wait to be apart.
Don’t let this happen to you.
It’s great that you love one another but do you like him or her? I like my husband. If we were not married he’d be someone I could hang out with because when we’re together we have a lot of fun. We laugh and we do that often.
Take a break from your day to day routine and rediscover what you like about each other. What made you fall in love with him or her? What do the both of you enjoy doing together? Once you find that out, DO IT!!
You won’t like everything they like but the things you do enjoy make it a habit of doing it together (without the kids).
My husband always reminds me that our kids are going to be gone one day. When they do leave we must be able to enjoy one another.
Write down 3 things the both of you enjoy doing. Now implement those things monthly or weekly in your marriage. The love you have for your spouse will increase and you’ll look forward to the dedicated “fun” times with each other.
