I recently had to take my wife to get a shot in her back to help with a degenerative disc. As I’m setting there, my wife and I began to talk about the number of times I had been in that situation as she had some procedure done. There was her knee surgery in the early part of our relationship then years later, it was 2 C-sections, a blood clot surgery, a DNC and numerous times that she’s been dog sick. I’m not complaining. I enjoy taking care of my wife but overtime, marriage can lose romance. I believe that it is in these types of moments that can slowly fade a marriage into boredom.
When we get married, we think it’s always gonna be hot and beautiful. However, no one ever tells you that these types of moments can force you to see your spouse in a different light. You don’t mean for it to happen, it just does. The same goes for undressing in front your spouse. It can take away the mysterious nature that we enjoy in the beginning of our marriage if it’s done just for changing clothes and not for erotic options. We aren’t aware that this occurs until it’s too late.
I’m mentioning it now because I want to lift the veil our eyes and hopefully we can reverse the affects in our marriage or prevent it from happening to other couples.
Being more discreet in the bedroom, bathroom, etc. can keep us close in the romance and intimacy of marriage. After 15 years, I’ve never once seen my wife on the toilet and vice versa. I’m glad. I think that would kill the romance.
If you haven’t started in those bad habits or maybe you have, just by setting new boundaries and telling your spouse why you are doing this, can show them how much you cherish what you have together. It can show that you are protecting your marriage too from the slow fade of “romassicure.”
