A Bit on the life after- Part 3

Hie there,

We hope you're coping and that you're not being stressed with the wedding plans. To take your mind a bit off the planning of your wedding, we've decided to put a five part series on the life AFTER the wedding, after you say "I DO".
In the first part we talked about expectations, the second part is on communication and now this third part is on quality time. You see, after the honeymoon and you're now back home, after a while of living together, it's so easy to get caught up in your daily routines- going to work coming back home, if you've got school or any other thing that needs your attention, that in the mix of all this you don't find quality time to spend with your spouse.

We cannot emphasize how much this is important in a marriage. As much as you have to fulfill all the other duties and responsibilities, you need to set aside time to spend with your spouse. We decided to set aside a day/night that we know that this is ours, anything else that comes up during this time will have to wait and be dealt with another time, unless if it's a life or death situation! It's during this time that you can really reconnect with your spouse and just share heart to heart.

But what is quality time you might be asking? Quality time's simply a time set aside, in this case for your spouse and solely for him/her, with nothing else to interrupt. So if your lives are just that busy, quality time for you can even be just 30minutes. But in this 30minutes, you give each other your UNDIVIDED attention. Do what works for you. If it's the whole day super, if it's just 30minutes super. At the end of the day, what we're trying to drive home is that find, set aside time to spend with your spouse.. it really is important. You'll find that those who don't, that's how they end up taking each other for granted and there should never be room for that in your marriage. Who wants to be taken for granted? Definitely not you huh?!

That's it for today. Purpose in your heart this day to spend quality time with your spouse.

To your special day
