When your spouse laughs at your joke that absolutely nobody else thought was funny and you feel like a comedy genius.
What us something you can change today that might be a hinderance to the closeness you desire with your spouse?
We spend majority of time in our marriage doing things we dread together- changing diapers, paying taxes, paying bills. When we do something fun and adventurous together, the dopamine levels in our brain rise. We want to come back for more." -Danielle Macaulay

Marriage luxuries we forget are luxuries:
* Morning kisses
* Having a permanent plus-one
* "Text me when you get there"
* Knowing each other's orders by heart
* Car rides with your favorite person
* Going to bed together
* Someone noticing when something's off
* Celebrating the little wins
* Late night laugh attacks
* Doing absolutely nothing together
* Being cared for when you're sick
* Building a family
* Creating traditions of your own
* Being completely yourself
* Choosing each other every day
* A sleepover every night with your favorite person.
The little things are actually the big things.
We don’t want to tear our spouse’s flesh (or that of our children.) Ninety percent of sarcasm is hurtful. It’s like an emotional slap to your spouse’s face. And it can cause children to have low self-worth.” - Dr. Randy Schroeder
If you are one who says "I don't do well with feelings or emotions," why not? Somewhere in your life, something might have made you feel unsafe to express them. But a marriage needs to have room to share emotions and know that your spouse is a safe place to share them with.
If you are single…
Be patient. Some of the most beautiful marriages began with a long season of preparation.
