When was the last time..

You know the thing about marriage is that if you’re not careful you can become complacent. It doesn’t happen all at once, but a just a little at a time. You settle into a “groove” and it’s comfortable so you don’t stop the routine. But, then one day you look at your wife and you wonder when the last time you told her you loved her. For the record, I’m talking about that “love” that occurs outside the bedroom, guest room, kitchen, or wherever you’re “doing it” *smile*.
I’m talking about that love that overcomes you from time to time from simply looking at her as she’s sleeping soundly or simply walking out to the car for work. When, you just stand back and think “damn I love that woman”. I admit that days can go by as I rush from here and there as I attempt to find hour 25 in a 24 hour day. So, from time to time I have to remind myself to slow it down and tell her how I feel. Whether that means, I stop by work during lunch hour, leave a note in her car, or walk to her desk and tell her something good. Or draw her into a slow dance during a random encounter in our house as I….Perhaps we go on a walk and I share with her all those things that make me love her.. Because, the worst thing that could ever happen, is that both of us ever wonder – when the last time was…

Donnie, i couldn’t agree with you more. As partners in marriage we need to nurture it and revive it and keep it exciting. Getting married is easy – staying married is hard, and you got to be active in making sure the other person knows how you feel. I’ll be the first to say that “Love isn’t enough”, but it’s a good starting point and taking the time to remember where you started is a good recipe for making sure there is no “end”.

This post was incredibly timely & I truly agree. it’s so easy to get wrapped up in the daily routine of life or as I call it run on “autopilot.” But to truly have a rewarding and fulfilling marriage we have to always do things that nature it. Thanks for sharing this!
