Bored In Your Marriage?

I once heard a man tell me that he does not feel the same way he always felt about his marriage. I asked him "Why?" He said that his marriage lack the excitement that he see in other marriages and that it is not as glamorous as the Hollywood marriages with some of their steamy sex scenes.

Here is the reality. Hollywood marriages are for the most part, a made up story in the minds of the writers. Their job is to entertain and make money, not to enlighten us.

Additionally, as individuals, we cannot compare ourselves with others. Our Creator created us all, unique. We are all special in our own way; and of the 7+ billion people on planet earth, there is only one of you and your spouse.

It is important to mention that many good marriages are boring. There is not much excitement in them. There is nothing sensual about cleaning the dishes, doing the laundry, cooking, going to work every day, or changing diapers. However, there are trade offs. For example, no value can be placed on the love that children feel when they are cared or hugged; or the eye contact between husband and wife; or doing the little things that count and making a huge difference in the life of some one you love; or the warmth you feel when your spouse is around.

There is no monetary value that can be added to the happiness of a simple yet fulfilling and profound marriage.
