          When life gets busy it can be easy to neglect your marriage and focus on other priorities. Sometimes you need a reminder to focus on your spouse and show how much you love them. Regular date nights are a great way to do this by keeping connected. It’s also good to have some type of object lying around that reminds you to nurture your marriage. We all need reminders. Consider making the “reminder object” something permanent.

          One idea is to plant a tree in your yard together. Tell each other that it symbolizes your relationship and is a reminder that, like the tree, your marriage needs constant nourishment.  If the tree is getting little water, the leaves will turn brown and wilt. Or if it’s not getting enough light, it will stop growing. It is the same for your marriage. If you don’t put attention and care into your relationship, you will grow apart.

It’s always fun to watch the tree grow over the years and to have that constant reminder that your love is growing stronger as well. 

         Spring is here and it’s a great time to plant a tree.  Start this date by going to RCW Nurseries, Inc. They have a great selection of plants, and lots of friendly help. Pick out a tree that will do well in your yard. Go home and plant it together. Talk about what it means to nurture your marriage. What do you do to constantly nurture your relationship? What can you do to make these things a priority in your life?
