Half Our Deen : Marriage – Foundation of the Family

⏮Rewind to the time you were in the so-called
“Honeymoon Period” 😍
The phase of bliss you felt soon after marriage.
The time where everything was new.
Getting to know your spouse, loving unconditionally, doing things to impress each other.
The main focus was your marital relationship and you gave utmost importance to nurture it!
Movie nights, Date nights, long walks ,impromptu trips, even a fight felt good 🙈
💞Wasn’t it simply delightful? 💞

⏭Now fast forward to this day!
Do you feel the same ?
Do you do the same kind of things for your spouse ?
Do you put your relationship in the forefront?
“ NO”  I am guilty to that !
Our focus has changed!
We get so caught up with: 
Life
Work
Chores
Children
And the 1000 responsibilities that come with it
That
We reduce our relationship to just “PARENTS” to the children we raise.
Forgetting, our relationship is the base on which our children thrive.

🌱 Just like the roots of plants need water,soil and oxygen to grow healthy flowers;
Our Marital Relationship should be nurtured with love, time and attention to have a healthy family.

Life is busy!
Children are demanding!
Time is limited!
Responsibilities will never end !
But that does not mean we put our relationship on the back burner!

Let’s
Plan date nights, Spend time with each other, ask our spouse what makes them happy!
Make an effort !
Do what it takes to nurture the bond!
Because
Our marriage is the foundation on which our family will flourish!

What do you do to nurture you marriage?

We order out food and have a date at home once the kids are asleep.
