Marriage: The test of infinity and beyond.
When we take our vows, to wed the one we love, how strong will our faith be, to make this marriage last and for that person to be the only love in our life? And to keep it that way? First of all, both have to give 100% in order to make the marriage work.
But for the five ways to renew a marriage that looks like it's heading south into sourness, you have to both be willing participants for it to work.
1.) Put your faith in God most of all. God loves a man and woman to be married and to carry out His wishes in His eyes. Your love and your marriage will last for eternity, as long as both of you keep Him in your heart, your lives and in your marriage.
2.) The sanctity of a marriage always depends on how you spice it up, not sex it up. Yes, sex plays an important part in your marriage to keep things alive and showing how much you both love each other. But never desecrate your marriage by confusing spice with lust. Do not go outside the marriage by inviting others into your sex lives by thinking that will spice it up. Nope. Carry your love life fantasies in the bedroom with only the two of you. Make sure it is a quiet time, with no kids around, no phones, no t.v.(unless of course you are watching something that will help the night be spicy), and of course, let everyone know ahead of time, that you DO NOT want to be disturbed.
3.) Plan a vacation for the family or just the two of you, wherever you have always wanted to go. Whether it be to the beach, the mountains, or somewhere overseas. Set the money aside so that the two of you or the family can have a wonderful time away from civilization and just leave all your worries and cares at home. JUST BE YOU.
4.) Do something that you think no other couples have ever done before. Write a book together and put your ideas down on paper and see what you can come up with. Share time with that loved one and put your heads together to come up with a biography, a family book, a suspense thriller, something to do with crafts or something that you know only the two of you know how to do and make it a How To DO book.
5.) Last but not least, renew your vows. Make a wedding the two of you have always wanted. Whether it be themed wedding or something spectacular out of fairytale dream. You will be surprised how fun the two of you would have by planning this together, looking on the computer or magazines for ideas that you could design your themed wedding with and be happy it is for the both of you. And look at it this way, you are spending quality time with each other. Nobody is interfering. It is just the TWO of YOU.
Have fun and keep your marriage together. God would want it that way, your kids would want it that way and so would your hearts. Always keep the loved one you fell in love with, close to your heart and in your life for Eternity.
