Marriages are meant to last forever. There are obviously some ups and downs in every relationship, but some couples get along very well in the long run. For a marriage to last that long, it should be properly nurtured, and often made exciting and cheerful by adding some adventure to it.

Most couples find their lives to become dull and boring after years of marriage. Well, speaking strictly into this context – what can spruce up your life with excitement? It is a vacation.
Try taking a vacation or two with your family every year, or at least take them out for dinner every fortnight. Go out on camping trips or indulge in adventure sports.
