Marriage in a Bucket
I was just reading Intentional by Grace’s Our 2012 Summer Bucket List. Aside from the fact that I want to do most of those things too, it got me to thinking about bucket lists.
bucket list: A list of things to do before you die. Comes from the term “kicked the bucket”.
I think it would be cool to create a Marriage Bucket List. What things do you want to do together as a couple this summer? In the next 5 years? In your lifetime together? (I’m going to add a list of places where I want to kiss my sweetie. Yes, definitely, I want to kiss him in Florence, Italy.)

A marriage bucket list is such a good idea! Couples can sit down and write down things each of them want to experience with each other, and it gives them a purpose and a goal that they can do together. This could be especially great for couples who feel like they’re stuck in a rut or they’ve run out of things to do together. Having a marriage bucket list can help them reconnect in so many ways, and discover things about each other that they’ve never known before.
What a great idea! I never thought of doing a marriage bucket list. Now, what to put on my list?
Our sex life is Brocken, we don’t relate anymore. It is emptiness, I never just realized how strong sex is in binding the two; it’s the propelling power that moves us so deep close. Take care, don’t deny each other unless you want your relationship to degenerate to a sister brother relationship
Jared, I encourage you to go to counseling alone. Talk to the counselor about your life and marriage and ask him to talk you through how to grow as a person and how to invite your wife into a healthier marriage.
