IN UNISON â—½ MARRIAGE
Many couples decide to start their marriages in spring, as this season is often seen as a symbol of renewal and beginning.
Spring signifies:
Growth
Vitality
Joy
Some argue that marriage can’t always “feel like an endless springtime,” as such expectations are just unrealistic.
​
Marriage, to me, creates moments that feel like spring year-round.
In marriage, it's up to the couple to delight in “springing forward” together.
It’s easier if you decide what attitudes you want, combined with actions you'll bring to the commitment.
Take the attitude of hope. Pair it with optimism.
Chris & I enjoy an increase of “something to look forward to”- a lunch & shop date.
Optimism leads us to movement & planning.
The action is more social interaction, activity, and quality time with each other.
Take the attitude of giddiness. Pair it with sunlight.
Chris & I enjoy an increase of “sunny steps into spring” – such as a walk, perhaps on a trail.
When sunlight shines into a marriage, it brings a sense of liveliness and energy—a real "spring in your step.”
The action is accompanied by confidence and a rise in dopamine.
​
When couples show a stronger dedication to flourishing together, they naturally undergo fresh personal and relational growth.
​
It’s warm, welcoming & exciting!
Though learned, the process quickly adds vibrance.
​
Suddenly, you notice that your marriage is experiencing a wonderful springtime bright path.
Wow! There are new & inviting possibilities to your commitment.
What attitudes and actions do you and your spouse want to encourage? If you're unsure how to start, try bringing hope and giddiness into your relationship. What does that mean for you?
