Love Is In the Air
Do you remember some of the crazy things you did when you fell in love with your spouse?
• Marathon conversations on the phone (landline or cell!) at ridiculous hours of the night…
• Romantic gifts of chocolate, flowers and cards dripping with mushy sentimentality….
• Romantic getaways to fun places….
• Four-hour drives to take someone on a three-hour date, followed by a four-hour drive and an early wake-up call for work… (wait… maybe that was just me?)
• Birthday surprises involving German chocolate cherry tortes that required four trips to the store for ingredients… (baking isn’t my strong suit)
Is there anything we won’t do when we’re in love?!?
Then the reality of life sets in: Work, bills to pay, kids to care for, soccer games and dance recitals to attend, college tuiton…. All wonderful things, but pretty soon most couples wonder:
“What happened to all the magic in our relationship?”
Fear not! The magic hasn’t disappeared completely! But, like anything truly great, it requires attention and intention.
