I think perhaps we agree more than it may seem. I am harsh on incurring debt (buying an RV) in order to build/fix a marriage. The kind of things you suggest: are all fantastic things. But they are things that married people (and single people) should do along the way. What I was suggesting is that people need to foster their relationships throughout their lives, and not wait for middle age malaise to set in before deciding to act.it's important to add a spice or two every once in a while; maybe not renting RV for its own sake, but dancing sounds good. I say - go ahead, learn something you didn't know, figure new things out. Travel. Explore. Do something you usually don't and see what sticks. The world is gigantic; you'll always find something new.
Certainly. Speaking from experience, though: routine sucks energy and curiosity out of you, and when you're stuck there, it's hard to get out. When you do the same thing every day (or every week, in case of students), it seems like there's nothing new under the Sun. How does one get free of such soul-sucking ideas, at least for a time?What I was suggesting is that people need to foster their relationships throughout their lives, and not wait for middle age malaise to set in before deciding to act.
