Sometimes I hear couples say that they do better when they’re
apart because whenever they are in the same space for a long period of time sparks
start to fly. Such a relationship would be a challenge for me and I imagine that
it would be for many others too.
Life happens, we get caught up in it and very soon we start to
believe that it is the best we can do. I have great news for you---it’s never
too late to discover new things or develop a new attitude. Of course a willing spirit
and an open mind are required in order to be successful. J
Sometimes you have to work hard--through trial and error--at
figuring out what constitutes that favorite pastime. If you’re lucky enough, you’ll
stumble across it unexpectedly. However, the not so good news is that once you
find one thing there is no guarantee that it will always work.
Just like you won’t want to eat the same dish every day, you would
most likely get bored if you try doing the same activity all the time, so mix
it up. Say for example, you discover gardening is something you both love and
working on the garden does wonders for your teamwork and partnership. Consider
what to fill that time with during the non-growing season.
Figure it out by talking about it, paying attention to what you enjoy doing (separately or together), or make a list of new things to try and go for it. Choose to make sparks fly in the right way—any sparks happening should ignite a flame of love and warmth and not one to produce enemy fire that hurts your relationship.
