Out with Old & In with the New (???)

Published: Sat, 01/07/17

Hi ,

Think back to a time when you were really happy and
having a lot of fun in your marriage.

Where were you and what were you doing? 

Was it a special meal on a certain day of the week?

Was it a fun ritual you did when you were celebrating
 a success?

Did you have a favorite place you visited during certain
times of the year where you were completely relaxed
and savored time together?

Was there a time when you attended church or a faith
community regularly to grow spiritually together?

Was there something that really, really used to mean a
lot to you that you've sort of let slip away?

Choose something that you AND your spouse used to really
love doing that you think you’d love doing again - a  special

tradition of some kind. 

Relive it. Renew it. Adapt it to where you are now, if need be. 

Out with the old & in with the new, they say. But  I'm not so sure...

Maybe it’s time to embrace some of the old traditions you
used to appreciate and enjoy - traditions that formed the
foundation of who you've become. 

Until next time, this is Mike Tucker and the Mad About
Marriage team and we want you to be mad about marriage!
