 Staying a Couple:
Do you remember when
you and your spouse were dating? It seemed as if you both couldn’t
get enough of each other. You most likely spent time holding hands,
smiling at each other, whispering in one another’s ears and
all kinds of small little actions that kept your love exciting and
new. Once a couple becomes married, they tend to stop doing those
loving things after some time. Life becomes busy- you’re walking
too fast to get somewhere to hold hands, she knows you love her so
you don’t think you have to tell her, she might be offended
if you order for her at a restaurant and so on. It is very easy to
fall out of the habits of ‘couples’. It can be just as
easy to fall back in the habit if you give it a try.
When you go anywhere
together, start putting your arm in his or take her arm and enter
that way- enter as a couple. Even before that, make sure you never
walk without holding his or her hand. Take a look at elderly couples
that have obviously been married a long time. They still hold hands.
After living together
for some time, it is most likely that you have accumulated some of
the same types of clothing. Intentionally match your outfits now and
then! If you don’t want to go that far, buy matching coats or
caps and wear those when you are out together. It doesn’t have
to be every time you leave the house, but every once in a while should
be fun!
When you take your
wife out, it’s still okay to do the traditional things men used
to do for women. Although feminism is very real and should be taken
seriously, there is nothing wrong with holding the door open for your
wife or pulling her chair out for her to sit at the table. These are
not signs of a weak woman who cannot do it herself. You are showing
her respect each time that you make a gesture like that.
Flirt subtly with each
other whenever you feel like it! You don’t have to be out to
dinner or at a party to flirt with each other. Do it at home while
you’re cleaning the kitchen or while he or she’s reading
a book. Walk by and whisper their pet name in their ear or plant a
kiss on his or her neck. Make eye contact and wink or offer a seductive
smile. Take the initiative and do what comes naturally.
For those who are uncomfortable
with public displays of affection or even private displays of affection,
give it a try. If you find that you are unable to enjoy little attempts
at being affectionate, you might want to seek counseling to discover
why it makes you feel that way. If you and your spouse are happy without
that type of affection, more power to you but it is unlikely that
both of you are content. It doesn’t hurt to try and the worst
that can happen is that you might actually like it!
The introduction of
romance to improve your marriage should be treated as a very special
time in your life. Think about how you can keep these memories alive.
