Circle of Trust
With today being Valentine’s Day my COT circled around our M’s and the importance of not losing focus on what brought you two together. Many of us are entering the age where we are becoming empty nesters, and studies have shown that divorce rate among empty nesters has soared from 1 in 10 to 1 in 4 over the last few years. As Dauber had previously mentioned, the trouble is that we all focus on our children and lose focus of our significant other. We spend our time apart splitting duties with our children’s activities that we don’t spend quality time together as a couple. We’ve all done it, one person drives one kid to piano lessons while the other is coaching the other kids’ soccer team. Before you know it, the kids are out of the house and you’re left alone with your significant other. You might have developed bad habits that the other didn’t realize you had. You’ve lost touch with each other and forgot what it was like to be around each other. You haven’t fallen out of love, you just haven’t been nurturing the relationship, you haven’t been feeding the fire that was sparked when you first met.
Today most of us will be running around grabbing flowers, chocolate covered strawberries, and/or making dinner plans, but why do it only once a year? Make an effort to re-establish your relationship with your significant other and do these kind gestures throughout the year.
A few years ago my M and I went through a rocky patch in our marriage and we realized it was cause we had lost focus between each other. We promised each other that we BOTH would make an effort to refocus on each other. We came up with a few ideas to help our relationship that I’d like to share. I believe this can help people in the beginning stages of starting a family, couples that will soon be empty nesters, and current empty nesters.
- Spend more time together.
- Brag on one another more.
- Pray together.
- Forgive quicker.
- Check in regularly.
- Be more sexual.
- Eat one meal a day together.
- Talk daily.
- Date weekly, ALONE, without children.
- TOUCH….A LOT
