Keeping the Romance Alive
It Takes Work
Keeping the romance alive in your new marriage doesn’t just happen by chance. Unfortunately, with the constant pulling of every day business (jobs, children, school, bills on top of bills, etc.) we tend to put our marriages on the back burner. As a result, we soon find that we’re lacking the excitement that was once present early in the relationship.
I know that the foundation of www.newlywedretreats.com is that of taking a romantic weekend getaway in order to escape from it all and reconnect and restore your marriage. However, today, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on other things that can be done to rejuvenate your marriage.
I came across a wonderful website by Dr. Sheri Meyers Gantman, Psy.D. I encourage you to click on her name and read all of the suggestions that she lists for rekindling the spark in your relationship. However, there is one analogy in the article that she makes and it resonated with me. I’ve actually heard my Pastor say this many times. I would like to share it here in my own words. Your marriage is like your bank account. You cannot make a withdrawal from your bank account unless you’ve deposited money in it. This is the same with marriage you have to put something in it in order to get something from it. Your relationship is what you make it and it cannot be ran on empty! Make the decision today that your marriage is a priority!
