I was driving the kids to school the other day and
thought, why is it that many of us are better at taking care of our cars than
our relationships?
It certainly isn’t that I care about our Honda more than I
do my husband. However, I am diligent about doing the maintenance required to keep the
car running smoothly.
Upon thinking about it, I'm not quite as good at doing the maintenance
(appreciative words, great gifts, thoughtful deeds, out of the blue surprises…) that keep our marriage fun and exciting.
I realized I’m better about taking care of the car
because it gives me gentle reminders and tells me exactly what it needs: beep beep – washer fluid low, flashing light – 3,000 miles - change oil…. Plus, I know it'll break down if I don't tend to these requirements.
Those little prompts and reminders are exactly what I need for my
relationship!
It’s not rocket science but I have found it requires
reminders to put a note in his briefcase before a trip or to make his favorite
dessert for no reason or simply to tell him a few reasons why I appreciate him
before I go to bed.
This is why we created GetinHerHead.com. It's for every person
who cares about their partner but hasn’t found a way to keep the fun and
excitement of the dating phase several years into a relationship.
I promise if you use the service and follow the gentle
prompts and reminders, your relationship will be in as good a shape as your
shiny minivan in no time!
