PART OF HAVING A HAPPY MARRIAGE IS DEVELOPING SIMILAR INTERESTS.
Paul & Gean Young
Married: August 27th 1946. Marion, Ohio
Paul & Gean met at the Highway Rollerina. They enjoy traveling, boating, bike rides and just being together outdoors.
Friendship is such an integral part of romance. The joy of sharing experiences - sight, sounds, tastes, aromas, sensations - will abound as a husband and wife explore and revel in the delights of Gods creatin. Having fun and enjoying life together is one of the greatest benefits of married life, and it forms a tight bond tha can cement a marriage through the years.
Whatever you do, dont neglect this important aspect of marriage. Whether it be traveling to an exotic locale, taking dance lessons, sampling unusual food at an ethnic restaurant, learning a new sport, doing volunteer work for a local charity, or trying some inexpensive activity that one or both of you have never done before, do it together! It will stimulate conversation, nurture your friendship, promte unity in your marriage, and keep your hearts aglow.
Spouses truly should be best friends. Developing common interests help ensure that a couple will draw closer together over time rather than slowly drift apart. Best of all, it fosters an intimacy that goes far deeper than friendship, because it involves one of the chief ingredients of a happy, successful union - quality time shared together. In more than one sense, it takes a lot of time for a marriage to last forever.
'Come dear lover - lets tramp through the countryside. Lets sleep at some wayside inn, then rise early and listen to bird-song. Lets look for wildflowers in bloom, blackberry bushes blossoming white, Fruit trees festooned with cascading flowers.' - song of songs 7:11-12 MSG
