For those of us who have been married for a long time, we are obviously used to the fact that we have this other person to care for and support, but as time goes on, what can we do to keep the relationship happy and loving? ? , which will still be also very funny? Well, a happy marriage can be compared to riding a bicycle, and although this may seem strange to you, here I explain why.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to compare your husband or wife to an old bike, well, maybe a little, but just as you would care for your bike as it ages, you need to take an extra moment to show your loved one that you care. Here are some pedals you could spin:
Riding a bike is the most natural task to undertake, once your mom or dad has removed the stabilizers, of course. You just walk away, then there is nothing to stop you. It’s the same when you get married for the first time, it’s such a wonderful feeling, the honeymoon, being together and then both of you are on your way to riding off into the sunset of marital bliss. So, to keep your relationship exciting, remember when she first learned to ride a horse and compare it to when she first got married. The next step is for both of you to think about where you are now and how far you’ve come. This thought will reaffirm your love for each other and should also bring a smile to your faces, just like when you were a child.
Do a tune up from time to time. When you’re feeling a little lackluster, it might be time to organize a getaway or a change of scenery. Like oiling your bike chain, a ride or gift will loosen you and your partner’s chain and prevent rust. When you return, you’ll feel relaxed again and in a better position to tackle the daily grind, with that renewed enthusiasm.
Shift gears if you’re fighting an uphill battle. Just as you would shift to an easier gear on your bike to get up that hill, shift to a lighter approach if you can feel a little tension building between you and your loved one. Arguments are not pleasant, and by adopting a lighter attitude, you can avoid the hump and be able to resolve any issues much faster. If you remember to take this approach it should definitely help as once the problem is fixed everything is back to working freely.
Have spares just in case. Since you will need to regularly replace the tires on your bike over the years, you will also need to have backup plans in place in your marriage, to keep it happy and full of tickets. You might want to save some cash for a rainy day, set aside a budget for a special gift, a meal out, or try to set yourself the task of coming up with a list of things your partner loves. Then you can gift them with each item or occasion, one at a time. This will keep your marriage interesting and fun. Don’t forget romance too, incorporating that loving feeling is important, so why not fall in love all over again? A special romantic gesture will always be well received. Remember then to save spare parts, small gifts for your better half.
