Unhappily
Married? Try These 5 Tips Now!
Unhappy marriages are not uncommon. Take a
survey and the results may surprise you. If the respondent
were totally honest we’d probably discover that one out of
every two marriages is unhappy; if not all the time at least
part of the time. Of course, this would depend on the degree
of happiness experienced. What’s happy for one marriage may
be considered miserable for another.
As marriages mature, the definition of happiness evolves.
When you were newlyweds you very likely were happy just to
be together and a romantic evening consisted of a quick dinner
and off to the bedroom. When newness fades and the body offers
no new unexplored areas, it takes more to induce happiness.
The longer you’re married the more other interests take the
place of each other. Each other used to be enough but with
the passage of time and circumstance it becomes harder to reach
a level of satisfaction. You mind is filled with thoughts of
children, making the car payment or the in-laws coming over
for dinner. What can be done to reignite the spark in your
marriage?
The sparks used for marriage ignition are many and varied
but if your desire is to relive some of the romantic days of
yesteryear then you might try these on for size:
1.
Reflect on the past together. Remind yourselves how it
used to be so you’ll remember what you’re missing. Bring out
old photographs to revisit past vacations and romantic getaways.
While you’re reminiscing, be sure “your song” is playing in
the background, even if it’s an old 45 rpm record. Discuss
how you felt then as compared to today.
2.
Give your spouse a small gift which says I love you. It
doesn’t have to be big and expensive. It’s better if it isn’t.
An unexpected gift is both a delight to give and receive. You
don’t have to wait for a special occasion; this is just because
you care for your spouse and want to show it. It’s a way to
say thank you for just being there.
3.
A note could be just as meaningful as a gift. Leave a romantic
note occasionally in a place that suits your spouse’s lifestyle.
Where does she or he spend most of their time when at home?
Kitchen? Bathroom? A few words of love are all that’s necessary.
4.
Be spontaneous and have a picnic. Do it without consulting
the other. They do it in the movies, why not in real life?
Have a nice food basket prepared and off you go to the park
or spread a blanket on the floor. It’s the unexpected togetherness
that’s important.
5.
Take a stroll together. This is not a brisk walk to get
it over with but time to hold hands and realize how much you
still love each other.
Don’t dismiss these suggestions thinking they wouldn’t work
for you. Give them a try and be creative. It’s doubtful they
would make your marriage any more unhappy. Start with a surprise
morning kiss for your spouse and watch the eyes light up.
