Matrimony Matters
mat'ri.mo.ny, n. [ME. and OFr. matrimoine; L. matrimonium, from mater, matris, a mother.]
1. the act of marrying; the rite or sacrament of marriage.
2. the state of being husband and wife.
3. married life.
4. (a) a card game with any number of players; (b) the combination of king and queen of trump, as in this game.
Last night was a big night for me and my husband -- we launched our first Dynamic Marriage Class. Back in November, we took a three-day Family Dynamics, Inc. training to become certified facilitators for this course, and have been eagerly waiting ever since to begin this new venture. (I serendipitously stumbled -- or should I say "surfed" -- onto their website back in October.)
People are hard-wired to desire intimacy -- men and women alike -- and if we don't experience it in our primary relationship, we'll sublimate this need and find fulfillment in other, less satisfying ways. But, when married, we experience optimal happiness when the relationship is "hitting on all eight cylinders" as my dad would always say (how long has it been since I've driven a car with eight cylinders?!!)
The law of entropy being ever-present, it requires maintenance to keep a thing as involved as a marriage in top-notch condition. We are willing to give much attention (translate: time, energy and money!) to other less valuable facets of our lives, but often erroneously suppose that we can simply coast through marriage and not experience disappointment. This course enables participants to focus on something that really matters and to significantly increase their own satisfaction quotient as well as their mate's.
Wish us well (or say a prayer, if you're so inclined) as we endeavor to share this effective tool with others.
