Just the Two of Us Again - October Edition
Don't let boredom erode your marriage. It can creep in and do you in. Being able to have fun with one another and to laugh together is a key to having a long lasting, vibrant marriage.

It's ok to have fun without the kids! When it's just the two of you, there are lots of new possiblities for having fun together. Together, create a list of some things you've never done before but would like to try. Some may be simple thinks like a new food, a new song, a new book, a new movie, etc. If it involves a day trip or scheduling, then put these on your calendar so they don't get forgotten.

Try to not use your Sundays as "catch-up" days. It is important to have at least one day each week that is a day of relaxation and/or recreation. We all need this time for rest and renewal. This time can strengthen you for the week ahead. If work or other obligations make this an impossibility, then at least try to schedule part of one day each week for these purposes.
