TOGETHER FOR EVER

The dream of true lovers is to fulfill the vow "till death do us part".

They want to spend their lives together and be able to inspire people to live to love. They want their story to be read across the world and captivate the heart of lovers like the  movie called TITANIC.

I'm sure this sounds familiar to you. Does it sound like your desires? Wouldn't you want to live a life filled with happiness and marital fulfillment with your spouse? I'm sure you would like to and that's why I'm sharing this with you. To have a clue on things you can do together to foster the love and happiness in your relationship. kindly relax your nerves as you read on.....

The first rule of making a marriage last is : NEVER TAKE 'ROMANCE' OUT OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR WIFE/HUSBAND. The letter R in relationship means ROMANCE.

This is a solid platform upon which strong bond is built between couple. The word ROMANCE just doesn't mean touching each other, there are many things involved which couples must learn to inculcate into their love life. Among those things are:

1. LEARNING SONGS AND SING THEM TOGETHER.

Romance is not complete if it doesn't have good music in it. There's this feeling of joy you get when listening to your favourite music. Imagine you and your partner have some favourite songs you both learn word for word and SING THEM TOGETHER every now and then? There's no limit to how much closeness this would bring between you.

2. READ A BOOK TOGETHER AT LEAST ONCE IN A WHILE.

We are in the era when everything is being made easy by new way of doing things( technology). You do not need to carry hard cover books everywhere you go before you could read any more. Books are meant for mental development.  Helping us to widen our scope of knowledge to know new things of life. It's a good thing if you create the habit of reading good materials which could be of benefit to you and your spouse.  Imagine you have an educational material you could transfer to your spouse's phone (just like this article you're reading), and later pick up discussion out of it with your spouse at your leisure time? It's going to foster your bond in a very good way I tell you. It it's hard cover book you find easier to read together there's nothing bad in it. The reason I always advice couple on reading soft copy material is to be able to read it anywhere even when they're not together.

3. WATCH MOVIES TOGETHER.

Movie nights are always relaxing and this could be good for you. There's nothing bad in planning a movie night with your spouse.  Go to the cinema if you want. Watch the movies together at home if that's what you want while you cuddle up in each other's arms and chew on something that won't shoot up your calories.

4. EAT TOGETHER IN 'THE SAME PLATE'.

It quiet easy for anyone not see any significance in this. Not even myself could understand the power behind it until I interviewed a couple. They've been married and living together for 49 years. When I asked the woman what the man could be doing right that made them stuck to each other over the years she told me "whenever we're around ourselves my husband and I do not eat in separate plate. We didn't start out this way as it's not part of our culture, but we created this habit for ourselves and our bond became stronger since then. Sometimes my husband would not eat but waits for me till he's back home so we could eat together. This is something that made me feel loved and I swore my undying love to him".

5. HAVE A SHOWER TOGETHER (STRICTLY FOR MARRIED COUPLE).

As simple as it sounds it's hard for some people to do. Why being shy of bathing together with someone you want to spend you life together? The reasons for many  people who don't do this is insecurity. They aren't comfortable doing this with partner for the fear of seeing their imperfections.  The fact remains that non of us is perfect in any area of our body and your partner knows this, too. Stop feeling shy or uncomfortable about it and just get in the shower with your wife/husband now and create your own magic together.

After all these you've read I'm believing you would make your marriage a life time and TAKE ROMANCE OUT OF IT. THE BEST MEMORIES IN MARRIAGE ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE BED ROOM. LEARN TO BE ROMANTIC IN YOUR MARRIAGE.  WE SHALL CONTINUE DISCUSSION ON THIS LATER.
