5 Tips for a Fun Marriage-Start Now!

Building a fun and fulfilling marriage involves various factors. Here are some tips to consider:
1. Communication: Open and honest communication is key and base of a happy life together. Regularly discuss your feelings, needs, and desires with your partner. This helps foster understanding and strengthens your bond. Don’t’ be afraid to say that you are tired or that you are happy and need to express your inner feelings. Reach out to him in every opportunity and let him know what you are thinking. “I really feel like spending some time on our own today”, “how about we pour a glass of wine and put on some music after the kids go to bed?” “At times I feel disappointed and I don’t know why!” You are not alone, he is there for you and you are there for him too. At times you may feel like he doesn’t understand you but are you sure you gave him the chance to do so? 

2. Quality time: Make time for each other and engage in activities that you both enjoy. Plan date nights, take trips together, or simply spend quality time at home. This helps create shared experiences and keeps the relationship exciting. Many times I wonder how would it be like if  I acted like a child, utterly spontaneous, dance while at home like crazy, take a ride on a bike, take a walk by the see and wet my feet, go out in the rain without an umbrella or just play a game and laugh hard. These are small little things we should incorporate in our time together. Low budget, easy and no need for previous planning. Just take his hand and dance with him with no warning. Leave a note on his desk saying that you would love to take a walk by the see the day after. Organize a trip together, choose a hobby that interests you both. Small  daily things are those that make all the difference, just remember to do it in style. The inner child is all we need sometimes.

3. Sense of humor: Laughter can bring joy and lightness to your marriage. Find opportunities to share jokes, funny stories, or watch comedy shows together. Cultivating a sense of humor can help navigate challenges and create a positive atmosphere. Laughter can help us eliminate stress, live longer and it sure can rejuvenate our relationship.

4. Support and appreciation: Show support and appreciation for your partner’s efforts and achievements. Celebrate each other’s successes and be there for each other during difficult times. This fosters a sense of teamwork and strengthens the bond between you. Express yourselves. Nurture emotional intimacy by being vulnerable and empathetic towards each other without judgment
Sayings like “I am proud of you”, “we will manage together-I am here for you”, “keep going I will support you all the way”…..can do magic to your relationship! Give it a try, you’ll be surprised!

5. Adventure: Explore new activities  together. Trying new things can bring excitement and freshness to your marriage. It could be anything from traveling to new destinations, taking up a new hobby, or even trying new recipes together. Dare him to prepare a different meal together, put on some music while you are at it and enjoy. After the meal is ready, light some candles and have an easygoing and  special night together, by sharing details of your day, feelings and thoughts. It may not be too adventurous but it’s a good and easy way to start.

Remember, every marriage is unique, so it’s important to find what works best for you and your partner. Regularly assess and adapt these tips to fit your specific needs and circumstances.
