After many years of marriage, it is not uncommon to hear one or both partners complain about how monotonous dating and romance have become. Going to the same favorite restaurant, movie theater, and other old haunts can become daunting on anyone’s relationship.
I think that is very true as well...its easy to fall into a rut, where you used to spend your evenings going to movies or out to dinner - you now find your evenings filled with laundry, chores and an early bedtime. I think its important to try new things and its something that we're making more and more of a conscious effort toward....all in the name of avoiding the rut that many people fall into.
I think this is very true. I find myself paying much more attention to my husband. He's holding doors open and hanging on my every word as I am his when we are trying new things together. I think its the excitment of sharing something new that makes the difference. It brings back all those feelings that brought us together 30 years ago this year.
I think couples should definetly try new things to bring back excitement into their lives. Life is too short, than why not?
I am in my 12th year of marriage and to be honest it is stale and mundane. I'll give this doing new and exciting things together. But in reality, how practical is it to with be constantly "trying new things together", especially with kids, jobs, etc.????
I beleive it is true. When you are in a relationship for awhile you lose that excitement. So I believe that you need to do different things to get the sparke back.
