There are many storms in life.

Life is busy and hectic. Unfortunately, our marriages take a back seat to our responsibilities.

As time goes on, the romance can dwindle, which leaves couples feeling disconnected and unfulfilled.

However, you don't have to accept that as truth for your marriage.

With a little effort, it's possible to rekindle the spark and reclaim the romance.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Reclaim the romance!

Romance does not happen by chance. After a long day at work, taking care of the kids, and handling the household responsibilities, you're going to be tired and wanting to chill out.

But part of your chilling out can include your spouse in many ways, and that means romantically.

Schedule date nights

One of the biggest challenges for couples with busy lives is finding the time to spend together. By scheduling regular date nights, you can prioritize your relationship and make time for each other. Whether it's a fancy dinner or a simple walk in the park, spending quality time together is essential for keeping the romance alive.

Be creative and keep it fresh

If you've been together for a while, it's easy to fall into a rut. To keep things fresh and exciting, try to come up with creative ideas. For example, you could take a cooking class together or go on a weekend getaway to a new city. The possibilities are endless, so don't be afraid to try something new.

Communicate openly and honestly

Communication is the foundation of any successful relationship, and it's especially important when trying to reclaim the romance. Be open and honest with your partner about your feelings and needs. Talk about what you miss in your relationship and what you would like to see more of. By having these conversations, you can work together to create a more fulfilling relationship.

Show appreciation and affection

It's easy to take your spouse for granted when life gets busy, but showing appreciation and affection can go a long way in keeping the romance alive. Take the time to say "I love you" and show your partner that you care. Small gestures like holding hands, kissing, or leaving love notes can make a big difference.

Take care of yourself

Finally, it's important to take care of yourself. When you feel good about yourself, it's easier to be present and engaged in your relationship. Make time for self-care activities like exercise, meditation, or a relaxing bath. When you prioritize your own well-being, you'll have more energy and love to give to your spouse.

Reclaiming the romance in your relationship takes effort, but it's well worth it. Remember, a little effort can go a long way in keeping the romance alive!

CHALLENGE: How can you serve your spouse romantically?

PRAYER: May you accept the challenge of loving your spouse as God loves you. As the roller coaster of life twists and turns, share your heart with the one you said, "I do," too.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

2961 The Rhythms of Your Love Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

Parenting can seem like a life sentence where we never escape the mess. What appears easy is the hardest and most rewarding gift we have to give. But in due time, the rhythms of your love become deeper and wider.

Who would have thought that in one moment, you would feel the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat (Jim McKay, Sports Commentator)?

Welcome to parenthood!

Only if it was easier, but strangely, I would argue that it can be simpler than we make it.

A lot of parents try to be accepted by their children, going for the "like" vs. the respect.

The parents' thinking is that "If they 'like' me, then we'll be good friends. Parenting will be a piece of cake."

But as you know, that's not the truth.

If we keep trying to be "friends" with our children, they will struggle to become productive adults.

Life as a parent is not easy. But you can impact your children without sacrificing your sanity.

Build the rhythms of your love with respect.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Respect over "likes"!

In today's digital age, technology is ingrained into our DNA. Therefore, social media platforms have become an integral part of life.

And when children (and adults) are on social media, we desire those "likes" that validate who we are.

Now social media can be beneficial for keeping in touch with friends and meeting people, etc. But come on parents! We can't let "likes" become the priority over values.

Respect over "likes"

MODEL respectful behavior: Children learn from what they see and say.
TEACH empathy: Empathy is the ability to put ourselves in someone else's shoes so we can understand their perspective.
SPEAK face-to-face: Quit making everything into a text. It's fine if you're away from each other, but in the same house? Seriously! How you interact with your children will build their real-life experiences.
MONITOR their social media: Parents, you have to know what's happening on your child's social media feed. Give them clear boundaries. And if they are on social media, you need to be too.
FOSTER the family and a community: You must encourage your children to be involved in the family and in activities that build them up and reinforces respect.

You will have years to be friends with your children. But now, they need you to be their parent. Nope, you won't always feel appreciated and liked. But remember, it's respect over "likes"!

CHALLENGE: What can you do differently when it comes to encouraging respect over "likes"?

PRAYER: May your patience grow stronger as your love grows deeper.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
