Choosing A Marriage
That Matters:
“Fun Versus Monotony”
When is the
last time you and your spouse did something fun together? Hopefully you did not have to think to long
about that. Having fun should be a
regular part of your marriage. It helps
keep you connected, it puts a smile on your face, and it is FUN!
People
often ask me, how do you do what you do- listen to peoples problems all
day. I do have to admit, it can be
discouraging and difficult at times, but I live by a statement and it is this. “Life is too serious to take seriously.” Think about it, whether your vocation is
counseling, plumbing or anything else life can be challenging. It is important that we do not let the every
day pressures and the extraordinary ones zap the fun out life. Life is too serious to take seriously!
So what is
fun? You and your spouse get to decide
that. Maybe it is a Friday night date,
or a weekend away or even painting the house?
It can be any number of things.
You, as a couple, get to decide, but it should be something that both of
you enjoy and something that brings you closer together. Marriages that regularly engage in enjoyable,
fun activities have a much better chance of experiencing joy and intimacy than
marriages that get sucked up by the everyday monotony of life.
Get out
this weekend and do something fun with your spouse- and make it a habit!
