"All I wanna do is have some fun, I've got the feelin' I'm not the only one." - Sheryl Crow

One reason this so was so popular and is still so recognizable is that so many individual and couples feel this way.

When was the last time you had fun as a couple?

If it is has been awhile, then we can say two things about you with a high degree of accuracy:

1. You are part of a very big club, and

2. The two of you are drifting apart.

It's so easy to get caught up in the hecticness of life that we forget ot have fun with our partner. Before we know it, we have grown apart and don't have a clue how it happened.

How to have fun again

As a couple, make a list of all the things you like to to do for fun. The list can include things you usually do together as well as thing you usually do apart. Then begin to pick things from the list, find a time to do them, and then do them.

Sounds simple doesn't it? I guess I could make it more complicated for you, but why?

The couple that laughs and plays together has a much better chance of staying happy and staying together.
