This is an amazing time of the year. It is warm, we go outside and enjoy Creation, feel the gentle breezes, and take a bit of time to relax and celebrate life! Celebrate the gift that is your relationship!

What a great opportunity to spend some vacation time, resting time, with your wife/husband, partner, fiancé etc. Make summer memorable: go for a walk, go for a swim, or perhaps, go for a hike. Sometimes it is nice to just sit on the deck and talk about how much you love each other. Ask yourselves, how is your love different this summer than last; how have you grown together this past year; maybe, what plans can you make to refine the love that you are already being celebrated together. Say a prayer in the evening moon-light to the Creator of your Love and say a prayer for each other. Enjoy the evening breeze and truly celebrate your love.

Every season offers us a lot to be thankful for and summer is no exception. It is always a time to enjoy each other in the outdoors. Try new adventures, go to a new place, and develop a new pattern of celebrating the summer with each other.

Relationships take work, time, effort, and new experiences. Our lives get very busy and sometimes we take each other for granted – this is the time for renewal! Mother Theresa once said: “Be happy not because everything is good, but because you can see the good side in everything.” Celebrate the goodness that is you and celebrate the goodness that is your partner.
