Daily Drudgery?

If you go into marriage thinking that divorce is even a possibility…you are going to get divorced. If you go into marriage with the idea that you can quit this lifelong commitment thing when it’s not fun anymore…you are going to quit this lifelong commitment thing. Even the best of marriages between two perfect human beings stop being fun sometimes.

Let’s make it fun.

Time you spend having fun together is the stuff that bonding is made of. What did you and your husband do for fun before you were married? What kind of dates did you enjoy?

Here’s the good news: You still are those same people. You can have fun together. It doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated, but it takes some thinking and effort.

Here’s Your Assignment

There are specific action items in today’s challenge to inspire you further and really make the most of this 5-day challenge, but for now, here’s something we can all do:

Initiate physical affection. It could be a spontaneous hug or holding his hand while walking through a parking lot. Do something small that lets him know you see him, even in the midst of an ordinary day.

Your marriage needs nurturing.
