Whether you have been married for five years, twenty years or fifty years, it is easy to become so familiar with
one another that we forget to pay attention to the things that matter, and to pay attention to continually build

Both men and women have said to me that they feel unvalued and unloved because there just isn’t much, if

– the cost of time, energy, effort, thought, and sometimes cash. But it is truly worth it because we are investing
into our marriage and ensuring that our spouse feels loved and valued. 914 people like New City Magazine.
I’ve been married for just over thirty years and I still find that I have to work at it every single day. The
relationship in marriage deepens as the years go on and as we work at our marriage. To not work at it is to allow
all kinds of other factors to come in and to build a barrier between you pushing you apart. Marriage is a choice, Yv onne N ikki V irosh A nnette Lidia
just as making a conscious decision to work at it every day is a choice. We win or lose by the way we choose.
How’s this for a romantic…..

I saw an older gentleman at the train station this past week, and asked him who the flowers he was carrying
were for. They were for his wife. They’ve been married for 47 years. FORTY-SEVEN. Every Monday, he brings her F acebook social plugin
home flowers after work. He said, ‘I’m grateful for every new week that I get to spend with the woman I have
loved my entire life.’

So how can you keep romance alive in your marriage?
Go out for coffee together on a regular basis just to talk (no distractions)
Make a special picnic lunch complete with candles and tablecloth, bottle of bubbly and turn up at your
spouse’s place of work to whisk them off for a quick bite to the local park or quiet place.
Have a candlelight dinner in the park or at the beach – even if it’s just a pie, or a salad but serve it on nice
plates, and have real glasses.
Go for a long leisurely stroll on the beach together.
Be zany….do something totally out of the ‘normal’ for your partner.
Get involved and be interested in what your spouse is interested in.
When you know your spouse has a hectic week or day do something really nice for them to surprise
them – wash their car, cook their favourite dinner, meet them at the door with a smile and carry their
bag, do their chores for them that they would normally do when they get home so they can just come
home and relax.
Order in pizza and have a movie and pizza night snuggled up on the couch.
Dance together – turn the lights down low, put on your favourite music, and ask your partner for the
pleasure of this dance….even if you don’t know how you can learn, or you can just move a little.
Have a romantic dinner on the veranda, in the back garden, or somewhere different. You can involve the
kids in this and get them to dress up as waiters and serve!
Do fun things together – it doesn’t matter how old you are. Go paintballing, go karting, to the v8
supercars….whatever just do it together and have fun.
Learn to laugh at yourselves and life. It will get you through the tough times a whole lot easier.
Never get stuck in a rut of always doing the same things the same way. Dare to be different.
These are of course just a few ideas but perhaps they will inspire you to invest more into your marriage not just
for now but for a life time, and not just for you but for the generations that follow. (DG)
