What does a lasting marriage require?

A good, lasting marriage requires effort-- but it takes fun too! King Solomon said, "I commend the enjoyment of life." (Ecclesiastes  8:15)  so have a good time with your spouse. Enjoy each others company. It does not take a lot of money to have fun if you think of creative ways to be lighthearted and playful together.

When we went to Uruguay I was a couple flying a kite. When was the last time you flew a kite? Grab a couple of inexpensive ones and head for the beach, where there always seems to be a steady breeze. Kick of your shoes and walk together along the shoreline until you find a good spot, then let the wind take your kites as high as they can go, while you and your spouse sit on the sand, relax and watch them soar. Before you know it, the sun will be setting over the water, putting on a free light show to add to the fun.

As you reel in our kites, admiring the colors on the horizon, take a moment to reflect on the One who provides you with so many blessings. After all, who made the sand and the beach? who created the air and the wind? Who made the water, the sky, the glorious sunset? Most of all, Who fashioned and breathed to life the wonderful person with whom you delight to share it all?

Go ahead -- have some fun!

God...Five us richly all things to enjoy.  (1 Timothy 6:17)

Con amor,
Vero
