Do you need a revival of fun in your marriage? Every marriage goes through dry spells when you feel like the spark is gone. Having a daily connection is vital to keeping intimacy alive between you and your spouse.

How do we find the time to connect daily? Your life is probably as busy as ours. Every season of marriage has its own challenges. Most couples are both working full-time. Maybe you have toddlers under foot while you are trying to cook dinner or teenagers keeping you up late talking about life. One thing we can count on, there will always be something to distract us from each other.

A word that Mica uses a lot when he refers to intimacy in our relationship is we have to be “intentional.” Through the seasons of marriage we have tried to have frequent communication about what specifically was keeping us connected and what was pulling us apart.

It seems like once you get into a routine that’s working, life and schedules change. I just want to encourage you to keep trying. Your marriage is worth it!

When our three kids were ages five and under, I was a stay-at-home mom. Mica would come home from work and we would make it our goal to spend at least 15 minutes on our back porch swing, connecting about our day. We told our children they could not come on the back porch unless someone was dying! I can still see my three children’s faces pressed against the sliding glass door, longing to come out and join us on the swing.
