Day 25: Breaking out of the shackles of routine
Spontaneity test! Today or tonight, break out of the shackles of routine and do something completely spontaneous that she will enjoy. Ideas: tell her "I'm turning off my phone / computer / TV for the night" and just hang around and talk as you do chores together. Or take her out for a cup of coffee during her work break, or a donut after dinner, or even a last minute, "Hey, I know it is a school night but the kids don't have homework ... let's go to a movie!" What can you do that would be fun and spontaneous?
Coach's corner:
It may feel artificial, but every now and then, doing something spontaneous "just for the fun of it" is a great way to show that you care. Why? Because it shows that you're actually willing to pull yourself out of your routine to do something fun for the two of you. If you like spontaneity but you think your wife won't (or can't because of school obligations for the kids) start today to drop a hint that in a day or two you want to do something crazy, just for fun, to let her get used to the idea.
