Sometimes, marriages lose the romance. You’re not getting as many compliments. No date nights. Very little sex (something I don’t treat as a taboo on this page). Seldom Scripture study/prayer together. And just an overall sense of lack.

Some would argue that this is all a part of the motions. Life changes. People change. Homes change. Marriages change. That is the one constant of life: the living cannot avoid change. We are either dying or growing, and there is never an in between.

That’s why I compiled this list. I encourage wives to take an active approach in deciding whether their marriage is dying or growing. Don’t accept despair, disconnect, loss of romance, or defeat.

Your marriage is worth the effort. It’s your number one priority.
