Most adolescents and young adults have no idea the luxury that they have from living at home. As I, they cannot wait to marry the love of their life and move out into their own home.
As we all know now, with marriage comes responsibility. There are chores to be completed and bills to be paid. Most couples must work and eventually more responsibility will enter the picture with children.
With all of this work, chores, and children, some couples can lose that childish adolescence that they had when they first got married. While it is good to grow up and lose many childish ways, having fun and enjoying each other is not something that a couple needs to forfeit.
However, many couples do. They no longer can find the time for those afternoon strolls, picnics, or bicycling afternoons. They can think of one million other things that need to be done. Even if they were willing to give up the time for these fun activities, they have work or children to tend to.
The thoughts of my own life began my wondering mind of couples and fun. How many couples (who are not newlyweds) can honestly say that they still have fun with their spouses? Most couples can say that they still enjoy the company of their spouses. Even more will say that they still love their spouses. But how many of you out there can truly say that you and your spouse have fun?
I think that having fun together helps keep a relationship alive. It helps one another remember why you fell in love in the first place. It keeps the youthfulness and the flirtation alive. While keeping up with your responsibilities and being a grown up is important, every now and then add a little fun to your marriage. Go out and do something youthful that both of you used to enjoy.
