Welcome to the A to Z blogging challenge where for the month of April we post everyday except Sundays (today's an anomaly as the 1st of the month fell on a Sunday), corresponding to each letter of the alphabet. I've chosen to blog about keeping the romance alive in a relationship along with ideas for married couple dates. Each post will also have a romantic song for you to listen to whilst you read.
Today's song choice is Aerosmith - I don't want to miss a thing from the movie Armageddon (a plethora of A's). This was the second song we danced to at our wedding - I love the words, especially the first verse;
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
I guess marriage in itself is an adventure and seeing it that way can help your relationship be a wonderful one. All adventures have moments of great excitement, but also days when things go wrong, and even more days when it feels you're going nowhere, which is what all marriages will have in them too. The trick is to stick together through all of that and treasure all the little moments that made you fall in love in the first place.
Going on adventures together is great and we love visiting new places and finding the quirky things that make that place so special. Wandering away from the main tourist spots will guarantee you memorable moments that will last a lifetime.

I'll leave you with this beautiful quote from Winnie the Pooh which fits today perfectly.

DeleteHi Pam - love the idea of adventure in a marriage ... that's what it should be ... always things going on ... new places, even they're down the road ... as you suggest - always an adventure - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary, keeping that adventurous spirit is so important. Have a great day.
DeleteOne of my favorites. Haven't heard it in a long time. It's as good as I remember.

Winnie the Pooh was the wisest of bears. Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day.

Thanks Tamara. Love that someone else chose this song for their A post.
DeleteAwwww😊 That song is so lyrically beautiful. I remember standing at an Aerosmith concert so many years ago, it was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI adore that photo of yours. So adorable and I can see the look of childish excitement in your eyes!
Here's to more adventures for all of us! Cheers!
How fabulous that you heard that song performed live. Thanks for stopping by and there will definitely be many more adventures in the future.

Glad you have someone to relate that song to. Have a really lovely day.
DeleteWhat a lovely post - tying marriage with adventure certainly makes it sound like you're both living life to the full - and btw I smiled when I read the names of your fur children!

Thanks Leanne, marriage, if you're doing it right, is one long adventure. Glad our furbies names made you smile.
DeleteLove Winnie the Pooh. And totally agree that marriage is an adventure...travelling together to a new destination (or even a familiar one!) is one of the best ways to bond.
ReplyDeleteIt really is the best way to bond. Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day.
DeleteThat song... takes me straight back to high school :D Happy adventures!

Ah, memories of when we were younger. Have a great day.
DeletePamela,
ReplyDeleteMarriage is indeed an adventure. Some are good and some aren't but sticking with it pays off in the end with a deeper more committed relationship for a happy ever after. We enjoy seeking out new adventures, too. Sometimes we revisit places and other times we go down some unbeaten path (to us) for the first time. It amazes us all the time how we discover new things to do in our area after nearly 39 years. :) Thanks for popping in on me and happy A2Zing!
I like that song to, but sometimes the adventure may be to get the other person to see you need it, thanks for giving the hope that it can be done.
