 Is Bigger Really Better?:
When you got married,
you said the words of commitment we all know so well about for better
or worse, for richer or for poorer and so on. Those words are wonderfully
inspiring, but real life sometimes make those vows seem as if they
are mocking couples after they’ve been married for several years.
The vows aren’t the problem because they are simply defining
true commitment. What becomes difficult is keeping the love and romance
alive in a marriage.
If you can think back
to the first year you and your spouse were dating (or weeks for some!)
before getting married, try and recall how overwhelming that feeling
of love was for that person. When you remember, try to think about
doing something so huge that it reflects the amount of love you once
felt and continue to feel for your spouse.
When thinking about
what you can do to express how you feel towards your spouse, think
as big as you can while considering financial restrictions. You won’t
need to use baby steps when trying to be romantic. When it comes to
showing your love and commitment in any marriage, bigger is ALWAYS
better.
You know the big cardboard
box that the new appliance was delivered in? You remember because
it caused some financial strain between you and your spouse. It was
also a source of conflict because you both had something different
in mind when picking it out. Take the big cardboard box and make a
card out of it. Simply cut out two of the larger sides keeping the
natural fold as the center of your card, tape or glue paper bags to
cover up and unwanted wording on the outside and make the biggest
card he or she will ever receive. The sentiment is up to you, as you
know best what he or she needs to hear.
Make a jumbo sized
banner for your love. Tape construction paper together or you can
order a banner just by doing a quick search on the Internet. Try to
make your banner at least 12 feet long and decorate it yourself. You
can get stencils at your local craft store if your handwriting simply
won’t compliment your effort.
Have you every seen
your local high school(s) holding fundraisers? You can offer your
local high school’s marching band, choir, or other entertainment
ensemble a donation in order to serenade your spouse at home. Imagine
the surprise on your spouse’s face when he or she hears their
favorite song playing live from the front yard! If you go for something
this big, make sure you remember to videotape it so that you can relive
it over and over again.
You don’t have
to be dramatic or especially outrageous in order to pull off a big,
loving gesture for your spouse. Even the most reserved and quiet person
can find it in them to put a banner together or cut some cardboard
for the one that they love. Many people who have already enjoyed the
results of their efforts proudly display their “big” romantic
gift permanently in their home or they placed it securely in a safe
place.
Speaking of secure
places, you can almost never go wrong with jewelry, but do you know
your spouse’s favorites? Do you know how to make giving jewelry
extra special?
