Here's a way to spiritualize your marriage or relationship, along with a suggestion of something concrete you can do, starting today, to put that idea into practice. Taken from Nayaswami Jyotish's book 30-Day Essentials for Marriage.
Day 2: Be Friends
Make friendship the foundation for your relationship. Wise counselors and scientific studies tell us that those marriages that are based on friendship survive the tests of time. We choose our friends for the simple pleasure of being together. True friends don’t always have to agree; that would be too boring. But even when their opinions differ, friends still radiate a sense of quiet support. Make your partner your best friend. Think back about what drew you together and be sure to keep those feelings alive. Visualize holding hands with your loved one, walking, talking, and laughing together. Now visualize this happening on the day of your 50th anniversary. With friendship as your first priority your marriage will ride above all life’s storms.
TRY THIS
Take a walk. Hold hands and enjoy the moment with your dearest friend.
