All it takes is a little bad behavior to take your marriage from good to great. Read on for 5 unexpected moves to make your marriage even more beautiful than your wedding.
Be a Device Addict
It’s easy to get in the habit of only texting your partner to ask for a milk run, or to set a time for dinner, but your device is actually an always accessible marriage maker! Get in the habit of sending a daily text telling your spouse how much you appreciate them, how you can’t stop thinking about them, or revisiting an amazing shared memory. They’ll soon be anticipating their notification buzz from you like they were in the very beginning.
Date A Stranger
You may think you know everything about your spouse after so much time spent together, but there are always new nuances to discover. Book an activity somewhere new to both of you, dress up like you did in your dating days and ask your partner questions you haven’t in a while. Discover that early-days desire and see your partner in a new light.
Spy on Your Spouse
Sometimes it’s tough to see your partner the way others do when you are up close and personal every day. Take a step back at your next event together or tag along to one of their activities you usually avoid. Watch the person you picked in their element and see them as the incredible individual you have the pleasure of partnering up with.
Brag To Your Friends
It’s one thing to tell your spouse how great they are; it’s quite another to tell everyone else! Studies show hearing your partner tell others what they love about you makes you feel even closer than when they just tell you! So spread the love and watch your spouse smile.
Be Completely Irresponsible
Getting into trouble, just a tiny bit, can be bonding. The shared experience of getting away with something can hit reset on high pressure marriage moments and remind you that you are partners in crime. Decide to play hooky from work (just once) and catch a matinee, or sneak out of that boring event early to secretly sip wine in the park. Don’t worry you can be one other’s alibi.
