Readjusting Your Routine
"I just don’t feel any love from my
husband," she said. "Life is a routine for us. We get up in the
morning and go off to work. In the afternoon, he does his thing and I do
my thing. We generally have dinner together, but we don’t talk. He
watches TV while we eat. After dinner, he piddles in the basement and then
sleeps in front of the TV until I wake him up and tell him it’s time to
go to bed. We’re just two people living in the same house."
Many couples can identify with this wife’s
frustration. We have allowed our lives to fall into a routine which does
not include regular expressions of love to each other, so we have become
roommates rather than lovers. If that is where your marriage is, then let’s
change things today. "Oh, I’d like to," you say, "but I
can’t get my spouse to change." You don’t need to wait for your
spouse to do anything. You can start expressing love to your spouse, and
you can start today. Do something that you know they would like for your
to do. You know, the thing they have complained about for so long. Do it,
not because they deserve it, but because you choose to get this marriage
off dead center.
Few people can resist unconditional love, especially
if it is expressed in a way that the person has requested.
