Remembering and Celebrating Romantic Beginnings

REMEMBERING ROMANTIC BEGINNINGS: I am a big fan of going back and connecting to your romantic beginnings as a couple. Life can be so distracting you sometimes forget the reason you are together in the first place. I believe we should do these things more than just on an "annual" anniversary.  Every romance has "events". These "events" don't need to be tied to a specific day. There are the "firsts" and "special" "times" all along the way. Planning deliberately to remember them together is a great way to remember the life you have shared.

 

 

Saw a post on line that caused me to think about my relationship.  [ The link to the original article is below]

No.1 - I do not think we could pull this off today. Neither one of us could sit in a restaurant for six hours over coffee and pie.

No.2 - I use this technique a lot. We didn't have wedding DVD's back then.
But, a look through the wedding album on a regular basis does do a complete "mental reset" as you remember the vows and feelings of that day.

No.3 - Our wedding party now lives all over the country. Not all are still with us. Just recently thanks to FB reconnected with one. Another remains totally illusive. The years have a way of erasing the past if you allow it.

No. 4 - What we still want to do as a couple....working on that one.

No. 5 - I am not a theme guy....skip straight to

No. 6 - Doing something together we have never done before! I am all over this. This is one of the undeniable secrets of keeping a long term relationship alive AND vibrant. Do not get stuck doing the same old "stuff" in the same old way for years. It WILL get boring, and you WILL loose interest; not only in the activity but also in each other. Humans were made to learn new things, to grow, to be stimulated by new places, new ideas, and new activities. Do these things together and you will grow closer and really come to enjoy each other for a lifetime.
