The Truth About Mid-Life Marriage

If you're a Gen X woman, you're probably sitting well into the double digits of marriage and possible into your second decade. When comfort and routine takes over, it can become easy for your relationship to shift from lovers to roommates. It's not too late. It's Valentine's Day, challenge yourself to write one thing down about your spouse, every single day that you appreciate. Be specific. At the end of 30-days, you'll be surprised by how much more connected you feel. Want more on marriage?

I'm a late Gen Xer and not even through my first decade of marriage yet. Some of us didn't get married til well into our 30's.... Still love him and all, but Valentine's isn't the day we proclaim it :)

I too like LadyPele are going into my 3rd decade of a happy marriage. I like your suggestion though, as we can take one another for granted or get angry at times and this suggestion is a good idea!!

Robin, last year, I decided on November 1 to write something down every day through Christmas and then to give it to my husband on Christmas. Some days were more challenging than others but those were the days that I really 'looked' at him and all the little things he does. Giving him that gift was so powerful and he keeps the list on his desk!

Several years back we wrote letters to each other instead of Christmas cards and still keep them. I love your suggestion Jackie; another great option! Thank you!!

It is so wonderful and thoughtful when you take the time to proclaim appreciation for our spouses. It's so easy to take each other for granted.

Hubby and I have been happily married for well into our third decade. Communication, being sensitive to the other's needs and flexibility are the key to our success.
