Don't be the old couple watching television in matching recliners.

This image haunts me to this day, the image of older people in their matching recliners wasting away the rest of their lives watching television. Don't fall victim to this trap. As we age it is true we can't do as much as we can when we were younger. However that doesn't have to be a death sentence to sit mindlessly watching television for the rest of our lives. As a couple it is your position to spur each other on and not get trapped in that recliner of death. Turn the television off and read a book, that way at least you are stimulating your mind, now a days you can even use a reading device such as the Amazon kindle so that you don't have stacks of books laying around. Make sure you exercise your body, also. Take walks, do simple exercises if you are unable to do others. Make the commitment to each other to not let the sedimentary lifestyle set in on either of you. Think of things to do go out and watch your kids or grandchildren play sports, soak up some sun, and enjoy all of your life you can. No one ever remembers how many episodes of Dancing with the stars you watched during your life, but they do remember how much life you had in you, so live it up.

Don't always dress down on Sundays

We sometime are so glad when Sunday gets here and we can just simply slip into our comfortable clothes and lay around the house with our sweety. This is okay but every once in a while you need to make sure you do yourself up a little for your partner. Men sometimes you need to slip into something you mate would find you very attractive in. Ladies you need to do the same every once in a while, look good for you partner. Most of us dress nice to go to work but when we are with the person we love the most we look the worst. Does that make any sense. Now I am not saying you have to dress up, but looking nice for your partner shouldn't be hard. Don't skip things either on these lazy days, shaving your face and legs should be the same even on a relaxing day. You might even get lucky, and if you do you don't want to take time to shave or worse yet give your partner a burn or rash from your stubble. Think of Sunday as a date of sorts, you can still look great in sweats and a t-shirt but if you skip the hygiene part of your day your partner might be feeling a little left out.

Sleeping In!

I am sure you have heard about the benifits of sleep. Here is a benifit for the couple. Most days we take turns waking up. One of us gets up and heads for the shower while the other one lays in bed for a little while longer. Well Sundays are a great day to sleep in a little longer together. Now I am not saying stay in bed forever, but spend a little extra time just snuggling with each other on a sunday morning. It will do wonders for your relationship. Most days we are so rushed that we forget to connect with our partner in the morning. These lazy sunday days are great to snuggle and chat. Who knows if the moment is right maybe a little morning romp in the hay would get both your days started out fantastic.
