Finding Joy in the Everyday
In the midst of the daily grind, the routine can easily dull the spark of romance in our relationships.
But what if I told you that routine doesn't have to be the enemy of love? It can be an opportunity to deepen our connection and rekindle the flame of passion.
What is the impact of routine on your relationships, and how do you renew excitement and intimacy in your marriage?
Start with an "I do" and an "I don't" of everyday life.
"I do" believe that routine can provide a sense of stability and security in a relationship. It offers a foundation for couples to build their lives together, creating shared rituals and traditions that strengthen their bond.
"I don't" believe a routine should ever become stagnant or monotonous. When left unchecked, routine can lead to complacency and boredom, eroding the passion and excitement that initially brought couples together.
One scripture that speaks to the power of love in overcoming routine is
Song of Solomon 5:16 says, "His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem." This verse teaches that love is a source of sweetness and joy, even in the midst of daily life's routine.
So what is your next step?
An intentional step to rekindle romance in your relationship is to prioritize quality time together. Set aside dedicated time each week to spend with your spouse, whether going on a date night, walking together, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home. By carving out space for each other amidst the busyness of life, you can reignite the spark of romance and deepen your connection.
One sure way to improve a marriage in the midst of routine is to keep the element of surprise alive. Plan spontaneous gestures or surprises for your spouse, such as leaving love notes around the house, planning a surprise outing, or unexpectedly cooking their favorite meal. These small acts of thoughtfulness can go a long way in keeping the romance alive and reminding your partner how much they mean to you.
Let me know how you "make out" by surprising your spouse with changing up your daily routine.
