It’s not too late to recapture that “happily ever after” dream that you shared when you were first married. Couples who actively and deliberately work on keeping their relationship fresh and interesting find greater levels of marital satisfaction with each passing year. Just because you’ve been married 5, 10 or even 50 years doesn’t mean you can’t still woo your sweetheart and make your marriage “hot”.
Here are some ideas to try:
Go to a ballgame. If you can’t afford major league baseball, check out the local fields in your neighbourhood. Take along some popcorn and drinks, or stop and pick up a hotdog to eat while you cheer on the team.
Take a road trip. Seek out the most scenic roads in your area and enjoy time together away from all the distractions of everyday life.
Visit a local pick-your-own farm and enjoy some of the season’s most delicious produce. Snack on some freshly picked fruit and pick enough to enjoy at home later on.
Watch a solar eclipse. On August 21, 2017, daylight will turn into twilight as the sun disappears behind the moon. Grab a blanket, snuggle up with your sweetie and enjoy your own private viewing party. (Watch the stars. Go to a local park on a clear night, spread a blanket on the ground and snuggle with your sweetie while you enjoy the twinkling array in the night sky.)
Listen to outdoor music. Many communities across our country offer free live outdoor concerts throughout the summer. This year, especially, there are concerts and music events planned to honour Canada’s 150th so take advantage of what your community offers. Pack a blanket and your favourite snacks to enjoy as you sing along!
