After You Say "I DO" The Fuel Gauge (3)


Have you ever run out of gas in your vehicle?  I hate to admit it, but I have done it. You say to yourself, “Ah, I can go a few more miles.”  My dad and I have walked more than once to find gas.  You would think that the pain would cause us not to repeat this foolish mistake.
Many of us have also ignored the fuel gauge in our marriages.  You have to put fuel in your marriage to keep it going. Each of us married folks can remember the things we did before we got married, like opening the car door, and spending an hour getting ready for our date. I’m not sure what happens after we have been married a few years; I think we go brain dead!
If we would keep doing the things we did before we got married, most of our marriages would stay alive and vibrant. I would like to encourage you Sir, plan out a vacation for you and your wife. You need time with one another and yes, without the kids.  Take her on a cruise, wash and vacuum her car, shave and dress up a bit for your weekly date.  She’s worth it.
You must put fuel in the relationship in order to keep things exciting. If you ignore it, you will soon be out of energy in the relationship. Ladies, make his favorite chocolate pie or dessert.
If you’re a stay at home mom, greet him when he comes home with an attractive dress rather than your nightgown. Before you got married, you wouldn’t think of spending just 5 minutes getting ready for a date. All these things are putting fuel in the tank.
Texting one another during the day, taking walks together, leaving one another love notes, buying special gifts, are ways to show one each other how much you value them.
 When was the last time you really looked at the dashboard of your marriage? Is it running close to E? Are you going to risk losing one of the best things that ever happened in your life?  Don’t say, “I really can’t afford a cruise, flowers, or time off work. Listen, it’s cheaper than the court system or a lawyer!
