Listen, I know it’s really easy to get stuck in a rut.
Go to work.
Come home tired.
Get household and kid things done (and not enjoy them at all, because you’re tired/feeling obligated/getting resentful).
Go to bed.
Get up and do it again.
Rinse and repeat.
????THIS IS NOT THE POINT of this beautiful human life, my friends!
And that boring, roommate-like, disconnected, go-through-the-motions type of relationship is NOT why you got married in the first place. Right?
Think about kids. They are almost always playing. Everything is a game, something to be enjoyed. (Until we somehow socialize them to the monotonous “responsibility” of adulthood.)
We should be channeling that playful spirit too! Not just as kids. Not someday when the work is done. Not only when we have vacation. Not when we lose weight or have more money or our husband starts following all of our rules…
Start thinking about how you could be more playful in your life and your marriage. It’s one of the keys to being present and enjoying your days. And it’s a huge part of having the connected, intimate marriage full of magic that I know you want.
Some ideas to start playing TODAY:
•go out and try something new together (feeding Lorikeets anyone?)
•play a card game and get into some friendly competition
•have a dance party
•trade TV for music you both love during dinner
•send your partner some teasing texts
•get dressed up and have fancy date night
