It’s Time to Break the Routine in Your Marriage

Hey L,

We are a very routine couple. Richard wakes up every day at 5 am to grab a coffee and seek the Lord. I, on the other hand, am routine when it comes to health and fitness. I work out 5-6 days a week and eat the same types of foods, meal after meal.

The other day my husband came along to the grocery store with me, and I felt horrible when he asked, "Do we have to have a salad for dinner AGAIN?" I thought, "Wow, I am boring my husband with the types of food that I love."

This conversation opened my eyes.

I realized that to keep my husband satisfied in our marriage and keep him from growing bored (which in this case he already had), I must break the routine.

Repetitive dinners are an easy fix, but the real caution lies when our love life becomes routine.

What once may have won your partner's attention doesn't ensure that it will forever keep their attention. Therefore, we must learn to break the routine.

When you break the routine, you break away from familiarity.

If there's one thing that can destroy a relationship-it's familiarity.

The Bible teaches us in Matthew 13:58 (NLT) "And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief." Jesus couldn't do many miracles in his hometown because the people grew familiar with him. Their familiarity hindered Jesus from doing miracles because they became comfortable with him.

Could the reason why your love life might need a miracle is because things have become too familiar?

Talk soon,
Brittni

By the way, if you are married and looking to "break the routine" in your marriage, check out the Fresh Fire book series that Rich (my husband) and I put together.

In these books we give an array of examples from the Bible that significantly proves why it's the smallest of things that create the most significant results in our marriages and consequently, have most significant impact on our hearts.

Fresh Fire is a 14-day challenge to a more passionate relationship.
