Marriage Help - Celebrate 

Host a Halloween Party


Instead  of  just  passing  out  candy  for  Halloween,  organize  a  masquerade  party
together where everyone is required to come dressed up.  Include in your party
food, drinks, door prizes, and games.  Have a few friends provide help you plan
this and then go all out.  Choose costumes the two of you can wear to enhance

each other.  A few suggestions would be to Adam  and Eve (wearing skin-toned
clothing ? no nudity), Batman  and  Batgirl, Cleopatra and Marc Anthony, Romeo
and  Juliet, Robin  Hood  and Maid Marian,  or Sonny and  Cher.  You will have a
blast  with  the  planning  and  searching out  your  costumes.   This  type  of  party  is
great for good laughs and fond memories of each other, which are important for a
good relationship.


Special Music


Select numerous songs that your mate would enjoy and have them either recorded
on a cassette or burned on a CD that can be enjoyed while driving to and from
work.  To add a little spice, record a few secret messages every few songs just
reminding them how much you love and appreciate them.


New Adventures


Arrange  for  the  two of  you  to  try something  new  together.   If  you are  both  the
athletic type, enter yourselves into some type of physical competition.  If the two of
you like the fine arts, audition for roles in a local community theater.  Perhaps you
like to  travel.  If  so, arrange for a short trip to some  place exotic that  you have
never been before.


Adopt a Family


When  the  Christmas  holiday  starts  getting  closer,  locate  a  family  together  from
your  church  or  local  charity  services  that  needs  to  be  adopted  for  Christmas.
Together,  shop for  the gifts,  and  have the  family over  for  the  most  scrumptious
holiday dinner.  You will both appreciate what you have even more as well as your
own special relationship.


Getting Married


If  your  relationship  has  moved  to  a  set  wedding  date  and  the  countdown  has
started, do something unique and fun.  Visit a candy store and have 30-miniature
candy hearts made, each with a special message of love.  Each day, present your
mate with the appropriate candy heart.  As you get down to the final days before

the wedding, they might read something like, ?Only two more days?, ?Tomorrow:
The Big Day?, ?I love you, your wife (or husband).?


Motivate Each Other


Find a mutual incentive that will motivate both of you to being the best you can be.
Find something that you can both be excited about and then attach some type of
reward to the motivation.  If one of you has had a dream of writing a screenplay,
make  that  your  goal  and  take  that  on  together.   The  motivation  is  that  when
finished, the two of you will take a beautiful, romantic weekend vacation to some
exotic place.  The goal could be anything that is important to one person or both
and that can be worked toward completion together.  Another example would be if
your mate has always dreamed of buying an old model car and restoring it do it
together and then take a special trip to the Indy 500 as your reward.  Yet another
example  might  be  to  restore  a  home.   Make  this  a  joint  project  and  then  as  a
reward, add a Jacuzzi into your plans.  Use your imagination and enjoy the venture
together.


Embrace Change


There is no relationship on the face of the planet that goes for years and  years
without change.  People change as they mature and view life differently, therefore
reacting differently.  Rather than get upset with each other over change, embrace
change.  You may not always like the changes that happen, but do not throw away
a perfectly good relationship just because the trail starts to wind.  Be patient and
encourage new directions while being honest about concerns that might arise.


Reap What You Sow


This is an old saying that goes back a very long way but it still holds true today.  If
you sow love, forgiveness, faithfulness, encouragement, honesty, and acceptance,
then  that  is  what  you  will  reap.   It  is  definitely  true  that  what  you  put  into  a
relationship is what you get back.


Board Games


Pick a night, perhaps on a cold winter night, and just enjoy playing board games.
This can be with just the two of you, or with several close friends.  Bring out the
snacks,  beverages,  and  just  have  some  fun.   Laughter  and  fun  are  important
factors in any relationship, for any age.  Laugh and enjoy having a good time with
good  honest  fun!   You  will  truly  be  amazed  at  what  this  can  do  for  your
relationship.
.

No Interference


Do not allow other people to interfere with your relationship.  If family members try
to get in the middle of fights or debates, that is definite trouble.  You might have
friends with well-meant intentions trying to help you and your mate solve problems.

Although getting another person?s perspective is not a bad thing, make sure it is
when you ask for it.  It is very important to keep integrity in your relationship and
not allow people to interfere.
