When you think of past happy and fun times doesn’t it put a smile on your face? Doesn’t it remind you of why you’re with each other, how you can have a great time together and why you love one another? I also think talking about these past memories builds conversation, laughter, and may remind you of something you’ve done that you haven’t in a while and maybe you’ll try it again.
Here are two great ideas to try:
v Make a
commitment to have a monthly scrapbooking date...let's call it the "memory date." This date will specifically focus on sitting together
and going through pictures, talk about past times (dates, trips, weekends
together, adventures) and work on your scrapbook. This is great to always have to look back on
and share with family, friends and children. The best part of the memory date are all the
benefits aside from making a great scrapbook; it is guaranteed time together,
fun time together, a great activity, something to look forward to each month,
keeps you in check of your relationship, and is just another way to make time
for each other and give your relationship attention.
v When and if you
feel that your relationship needs a boost, this is a good time to talk about
first dates, past fun times, adventures or trips. And if you already have scrapbooks or photo
albums complete, bring them out and look through them together.
My Thought
Your relationship always needs attention so make sure you are giving it the attention it needs! And remember when times feel tough, take that trip down memory lane……laugh and love each other and always strive to spend time together in different ways, making fun and happy memories that you will always have to look back on.
