Is your marriage feeling dull or boring?

Do you and your spouse do the same things over and over again?

Do you eat at the same restaurants, sit in the same seats, drive the same routes — all without ever trying something new?

Have you become slaves to routine and predictability?

Not very exciting, is it?

Everyone Craves a Little Surprise

Let’s be honest: everyone wants a bit of excitement in their life from time to time — including your spouse. But maybe they’ve been too kind or too cautious to say so out loud.

That doesn’t mean they’re unhappy. It just means the spark could use a little stoking.

So what’s the answer? Plan moments of surprise.

Surprise Keeps Love Alive

Surprise adds a dose of fun and playfulness to your relationship.

It breaks you both out of autopilot and reminds you that marriage doesn’t have to feel like a daily to-do list.

It doesn’t have to be dramatic or expensive — just intentional.

Surprise your spouse with:

• An unexpected gift
• A spontaneous act of kindness
• A romantic gesture they never saw coming

A Few Fun Ideas to Try

Want a simple one?

Tell them you’re taking them to dinner at your usual spot — then surprise them by going somewhere completely different instead.

Or maybe their favorite artist is in town. Get tickets — even front row if you can — and take them! On the way to your “dinner reservation,” they’ll start to catch on. And when they ask, just smile and say you’ve planned something you know they’ll love.

Here’s another one:
Maybe your spouse secretly loves professional wrestling but would never splurge on tickets. Surprise them with the best seats you can afford — even if it’s not your thing. Watching them light up will be totally worth it.

Break the Routine. Build the Joy.

Adding the element of surprise spices up a marriage and keeps the relationship from growing stale.

You don’t have to wait for a special occasion.

Just plan something small and thoughtful — something unexpected — and watch what it does for your connection.

So here’s your challenge:
Take a few minutes right now and plan a surprise for your spouse.

It doesn’t have to be huge. Just meaningful.Chances are, they’ll enjoy it so much… you’ll want to do it again. And again. And again.
