“We’ve kept it interesting by having something on the calendar to look forward to, even when it was just one night up the road, because those getaways became the glue that held us together in exhausting seasons.”
“Ashley and I have found that the couples we most want to be like after decades of marriage are the ones who never stopped being best friends. We keep dreaming up new goals together, because when you’re pursuing something side by side, you keep discovering new things about each other.”
“After 37 years, Nancy and I learned that keeping a marriage interesting is not about grand gestures. It is about laughing at the same dumb thing from across a room and choosing to be curious about the person you think you already know. We have inside jokes nobody else gets, and that secret language matters more than any date night itinerary.”
“My husband and I have been married twenty years, and we learned the hard way that keeping it interesting isn't a vacation or a grand gesture, it's the daily stuff: greeting each other at the door, praying before bed, even putting raspberries in sparkling water so the dining room feels like a date.”
“After thirty-six years of marriage and co-pastoring Bethel Christian Center together, I’ve learned that interesting isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about staying curious about the person you already chose. My husband and I keep showing up for each other’s growth, and that’s where the spark stays alive.”
“We keep it interesting by not trying to be each other's everything. I have my work, my friends, my own world, and so does he, so when we sit down at the end of the day we actually have things to tell each other.”
“Twelve years in, I don't think it's about keeping it interesting. It's about staying interested when things are boring: dishes, carpool, the same stories. The interest isn't something we add; it's something we keep noticing.”
