I was grabbing dinner at one of my favorite bistros. The staff knows me and brings me “the usual” without my having to ask. I was lost in a book when I happened to glance up and look across the room. Two tables lined the opposite wall.
At one sat a young couple—20’s—laughing, animated. And at the other table sat an elderly couple—70’s—talking, smiling.
I thought—now here is a snapshot of marriage—before and after. And except for the wrinkles, little differentiated the older couple from the younger.
Smiling, talking, laughing.
A lifetime of hearty conversation.
Sometimes couples tell me that they’re so busy they hardly have time to talk.
Do you want to reduce stress? Then schedule time to talk—about the important things of your wedding.
Here are 3 conversation starters:
1. Who are your role models for marriage? Why are they models?
2. When people speak of your wedding, what 3 words do you want them to say? What 3 words do you not want them to say?
3. On you 25th wedding anniversary, what would you like to look back upon?
