If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary. ~ Jim Rohn
Taking the risk to try doing something new with your spouse can be scary, but very rewarding too.
It is scary because the outcome is uncertain. It could end up being an upleasant experience, or a pleasant one. You don’t know, at least until you try.
But even if the outcome is unpleasant, the result is not actually bad because you shared a new experience, made a memory and learned something new about yourselves together.
Try something new together this week, something just beyond your comfort zone. It is a very effective way to help you grow as a couple.
Everyone has a ‘risk muscle.’ You keep it in shape by trying new things. If you don’t, it atrophies. Make a point of using it at least once a day. ~ Roger von Oech
