I follow simply marriage quite a bit and have found it to be encouraging body of thought on marriage. My fiance and me spend quite a bit of quality time with each other, and one of the ways we destress is by reliving our childhood - playing catch, singing silly rhymes,asking questions like we dont know, behaving like kids like no one is watching. Another things that I find relaxing is singing together.We're getting married in November and I have deliberately started to slow down on everything so that I anticipate less and appreciate more :-) Cheers I am not yet married but will be soon.

Slowing down is an important part of building a strong marriage and something it is too easy to overlook. I retweeted this today to my followers. Thanks, Corey. Very nicely said.

I love all of them. In addition to your suggestions, I think a couple can improve its marriage by making a list of things that one likes about his / her partner. This might be challenging especially if one is in the middle of relationship crisis, however, if one comes up with things to appreciate, it would stimulate the memories of past expressions of love.

It is wonderful to have a male perspective on the world of 'fast'. Speaking of 'fast' ~how did your year-long media 'fast' go? It's been about a year since you wrote this post. I'd love to know!

Less noise, no flashy screen. We read a chapter of some improving book, then we treat ourselves to some trashy genre fiction. I'd forgotten how much I love reading aloud. I do all the voices.

You are going to breathe all day anyway, so why not make the best of it?

My wife and I always try and devote time to the little things, because you know, life can get real hectic at times. You can get really wrapped up in things and forget about the most important thing. Even just sitting down to a home cooked meal AT THE DINNER TABLE is a must. I mean, it's that time together to talk and reflect and remind each other how you feel.
