Dating Your Spouse

Wellness image.

The dating phase of any relationship is vibrant and exciting. Getting to know a person, what makes them laugh, their likes and dislikes, the food they enjoy, their hobbies, their hopes and aspirations makes for stimulating conversation and much-anticipated encounters.

But what happens after the “I dos” and the fairy tale honeymoon? Is every marriage doomed to routine and monotony? Where do those “butterflies in the stomach” feelings disappear to and how can you keep them alive through years of wedded bliss?

One way is to continue to date your spouse, a proposition that is not always easy when the dishes need to be washed and the meals prepared, the shopping needs to get done and so does the laundry, the kids have sports activities and need help with homework, and you’re both just plain exhausted after working all week.

Yet, if you don’t take the time to nurture your marital relationship, you might not have a marital relationship to nurture. Here are a few reasons to date your spouse:

  • Just like your plants, your relationship needs to be tended to on a regular basis to thrive and grow

  • Dating is a good way to show your spouse you value his/her company and to say “I love you”

  • Dating was the way you decided you wanted to get married, keep on doing it as a way to stay married

  • There are always new things to learn about your spouse

  • Laughing together and having fun makes stronger the “ties that bind”

  • Dating is an investment in your future, guaranteed to earn interest

Life after marriage is hectic and an endless stream of excuses can keep you from devoting the time necessary to keep your number one relationship on the front burner. Dating your spouse on a regular basis can keep the home fires burning – in your hearth and in your heart!

Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in New Braunfels and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a New Braunfels parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
