The other day I was browsing through facebook and I noticed something that made me a little jealous ... I know not an attractive feature ... It seems to me that I have quite a few friends who are doing a lot of really fun things with their spouses/boyfriends and families but then I realized something that made me sad. All these posts were from people that were in a new relationship, leaving another behind. Sure they are doing fun stuff ... they are still courting. So, why do we stop courting? Yes, reality of life sets in ... jobs, kids, responsibilities ... but I'm wondering if some of these new relationships would still be in their old relationships if they didn't stop having fun together. Of course the type of fun you have with your spouse changes with seasons but are you still having fun together? are you letting lame excuses stop your fun? If I can take anything from my moment of jealousy ... it is this ... I want to keep having fun with this husband because he's a keeper and I don't want a new one. It takes effort and in my opinion ... it takes having fun together!
here's my disclaimer ... I know there are many complicated reasons for divorce. I am just attempting to remind myself and others that we need to work to protect our marriages ... I am very aware it takes more than fun for a marriage to last!
