Overcoming Apathy (Marriage Monday)

(My man and I, braving -35 weather for a walk together.)

We laugh together.  When we are really not feeling the excitement in our relationship we talk till we laugh and laugh till we are kissing.  He is so good at making me laugh and I apparently am entertainingly funny when I am not even trying, he has alluded to it being my cute factor or some other such nonsense.

We purposely decide to hold one anothers hands more often, kiss more often; flirt more in general.

We have fun together.  Over the years we have found many things we don’t both like but a few we both really really like and so we make time to get alone and do these things, like go for a walk with the camera and take pictures then mess with them on gimp (a photo editing program), or exercise (I know, sounds nutty but we both like the same types of exercise).  Take a bike ride together, jog together by the river or skate and toboggan with plenty of goofing off involved.

It is hard to get apathetic with this man because we find so much time for one another, time to enjoy all of the above, the laughter, the flirting and the activities.

Enjoy your marriage!

    Flirting!!! Love that word. We tease and laugh too, and I guess that really amounts to good old-fashioned flirting.

    Sounds like you’ve found some common ground that keeps you both enjoying the time you spend together. W00t! Good job.

    Thanks for joining us for Marriage Monday today, Mac an Rothaich.

    Hugs, e-Mom

    Yay for flirting! My husband and I flirt with each other all the time! He’ll walk across the room and give me a squeeze or we hold hands in church. I love the secret looks between us that shuts out everyone and everything else, no one knows us like we know one another! marriage is a lot of trial and error, hit and miss but once you have that common interest, it blossoms like spring flowers after a rain!
    Thanks for sharing!

    Having fun together…I think that’s really the key. When you enjoy being with each other, then it doesn’t matter where you are, you’ll have fun. Sounds like you two lovebirds are having the time of your life.

    I think that you hit on a key point: goofing off together. There is not better way to stay connected to laugh-out-loud together. I enjoy those times with my hubby.
