Lesson on Keeping Fun in your Relationships
“What’s wrong?,” asked our personal trainer. It was Saturday and my husband and I were at our 7:00 a.m. booth camp workout session. “Oooh… nothing,” he replied. “Then why the frown lines?,” she continued.
I turned quickly to look, and sure enough he had frown lines
at 7:00 a.m., as if he had just come out of a battle. Well, we were up at the
crack-of-dawn on Saturday, and that could make anyone frown, especially when it’s
the day you normally sleep in. Nevertheless, the question got me thinking about
how busy we’ve been lately with the ministry’s new launch campaign and moving his
business to the next level. This is an exciting time in our lives, but it’s not
without some levels of stress. So, I
thought it was time to add a little fun back into our relationship.
April 1st, All Fool’s Day was the perfect stage
to start. By nature, my James is a laid-back,
quick-witted, and funny-kind-of-guy. Of
course, those are some of the many characteristics I fell in love with. The
practical joke I played on him April 1st still has me laughing, and
looking out for ‘I am going to get you back, just wait and see!’ The
upside of playing a joke on a guy like my husband is that he will come back
with something funnier and bigger than I played on him. It’s all in the name of wholesome fun. We both
have frown lines now; the only thing is that they are a result of laughing, and
not stressing.
What about you? Are
you keeping some element of fun in your relationship? It’s time to be intentional about having fun
and enjoying our relationships. I’ve
made a vow to be intentional about keeping fun in my marriage from this day
forward. I’ve started planning all sorts
of things to keep it going throughout the year.
Why don’t you join me?
Throughout the year, I will share with you the fun things
James and I are doing to keep our marriage alive and stress-free. I would love for you to share with me your
ideas, also.
May your life be filled with Love mixed with Faith,
Yvette
