"It is as though they were sitting in separate rowboats on a choppy lake. If they don't paddle vigorously to stay in the same area, one will drift to the north of the lake and the other to the south. That is exactly what happens when marital partners get too busy or distracted to maintain their love. If they don't take time for romantic activities and experiences that draw them together, something precious begins to slip away." - Dr. James Dobson
We are either getting closer to our partner or further away. To create intimacy, paddling is required. When we take the time to participate in activities that bring us closer together, the lake seems easier to navigate.
What do you consider romantic? What would draw you and your partner closer? What might you do to maintain your love?
What one of us considers romantic or loving may be different from how our mate perceives that experience.
Experiment: Ask your partner what activity would help them feel close to you. Schedule a time to do the activity together.
Affirmation: I am taking action to stay close with my beloved.
