For those of you who are married...my question is: "How do you "keep the spark"? How do you step outside of that comfort zone that is created when you marry? Lincoln and I have agreed to read one marriage enrichment book together each year. This year it's "The Four Seasons of Marriage". We are huge fans of "The Five Love Languages", which we will probably ready every year on top of our other book. We have found that our love languages have already changed in the four years that we've been married...but that's a whole other blog in itself!
We attended a marriage seminar this past year at church that gave us wonderful information, encouragement, and ideas. Our favorite is the "Light the candle". They suggested that one person light a specific candle when they are "in the mood" - the other has the option to accept, reschedule, or reject. Although we don't have a candle, we have developed our own "signal" (of which I won't share because that seems like too much info!) It has helped a lot!
What else do you do? It seems hard to me to come up with ideas because Lincoln is not good at love letters, etc. (I on the other hand obviously enjoy expressing myself in written words!)
Any ideas anyone???
