Busy Marriages are Lasting Marriages!
Boredom is one of the silent killers in even those marriages that start off strong and motivated. Over the years, boredom is a small but growing voice suggesting that you turn to something or someone else in order to create that exciting rush of chemicals and adrenaline. Boredom, however, is also the work of idle hands and idle marriages. Just like your parents told you, keep busy and you’ll stay focused, but if you allow yourself too much down time without any productive thoughts or patterns, your brain may just go ahead and invent ways to stay busy.
Be Together and Be Busy!
When you make the proactive decision to take charge of your marriage and keep your relationship new and busy, no matter how long it has been, you are taking an important step towards keeping that personal spark alive and going. By seeing yourself and your spouse learn and try something new, you are able once again see a side of them that elicits that response of newness, of change, excitement and unpredictability. By sharing these new experiences together, you not only keep your marriage busy and in shape, you also reaffirm the bonds that hold you together in the first place.
Experience Something New Together
When Jaime and Ken took their annual trip to the Outer Banks, they always ate at the same restaurants. In order to fight off boredom and try something new, they decided to split up for the day and seek out entirely new places to eat and have fun, and then get back together that evening to compare notes and plan their itinerary for the rest of the vacation. They surprised themselves, and each other, with the interesting and unpredictable vacation that followed.
