Marriage is a beautiful thing, and having that one person you know will have your back for the rest of your life, is a wonderful thing, and it’s one of the joys of marriage.
But then, in the beauty of it all, couples tend to get older than they actually are few months or years after getting married – and many tend to blame it on kids and responsibilities. While this might be true to some extent, it isn’t entirely true.
I write this article based on studies I’ve made on two loving couples I tend to admire. Couple A have busy lives, a healthy relationship with each other and live their normal every day lives and do regular things every couple will do – I see them as old couples, even though they are still young. Couple B are also young couples, with lots of job responsibilities as well, but they look younger and livelier than couple A; they have lots of fun, go on lots of dates, and as a result they tend to laugh more and have more good times.
I’ve noticed that after a few months or years of marriage, many couples tend to act like the older version of themselves, and forget to enjoy every opportunity life throws at them now that they are still young. Many couples live a satisfactory lifestyle, and don’t look to push their marriage to the next level; their everyday lifestyle is perfectly orchestrated, in the sense that they do the same thing every day, that it becomes a regular part of their lives. However, couple B don’t just wait for moments; they create moments every day of their lives. In spite of their busy lifestyles, they don’t fail to add excitement to their marriage; they don’t just wait for things to happen, but they make things happen. Their marriage is more than just satisfactory; it is exciting.
We are all going to get old and boring, but why do you start being old when you are still young?
