Coffin Corner

We head directly for the “clearance” section of the produce department when we go shopping. We have found an unexpected source of adventure—the “just right” mango or papaya, bananas we don’t need to wait to ripen, baby artichokes cheap enough to buy, fennel bulb, and celery root.  Some items are things we have never tried before. Perhaps we have read about them or seen them on television. Culinary adventures are waiting for us if we open our eyes.

Marital adventures are, too! How about visiting a church on vacation? Finding a new place to walk? Scheduling a marriage enrichment cruise? Opening the newspaper weekly entertainment guide and picking one wild and crazy or maybe just brand new thing to do or place to visit together?  Like the exotic produce we have incorporated into our meals, you may find new ways to experience and enjoy each other.

MAKE TIME to find an adventure with your mate!

Talk over your craziest ideas knee to knee.* Brainstorm—listen.

OR JUST GO and see what happens.

*Face each other, hold hands, make eye contact and give each other undivided attention.
