Domestic Challenge

If someone were to follow you around for the day what would they find? Be honest. If you acted just like you do everyday and he did too then how would this outsider perceive your marriage?

Take some time and write down what your average day looks like. Is breakfast a calm, interactive meal or is it one of those grab your coffee and maybe a poptart and head out the door? Do you help each other in the mornings or is it every man/woman for themselves?

Once the day is in full swing does your partner ever cross your mind? If so, is it good or bad? Do you ever call to say hello or find out how the big meeting went? Does he?

When it’s dinner time do you slow down to talk to one another or do you go, go, go until you collapse in the bed or on the couch?  Once again a day is gone and you haven’t even  spent five minutes talking to your best friend. How sad is that?

Look at what you’ve written about your daily life. Is this how you want to spend the rest of your life? What if your partner was gone tomorrow? (God forbid, but it can happen). Don’t spend your time wishing about the way you want your relationship to be one day. Do it now! Decide one thing that you want to change and do it. If it’s have one meal together a day, then do it. If it’s once a week then do it. Sadly enough, we are not promised tomorrows, so make a decision and YOU be the one to take the first step.
