God does not want us to dwell on memories of the pains, defeats and struggles of the past(Isaiah 43:18).
Our anchor scripture shows us the kind of things He wants our minds and heart to dwell upon. They’re the sweet and pleasant times we’ve had in the past. These are memories that strengthen our hearts and put smiles on our faces when we think of them.
One of the areas of life where reflecting on sweet memories of the past is beneficial is your marriage.
However, reminiscing on the sweet times you’ve had in the past is only possible as you intentionally build a rich memory bank today. The truth is, there’ll be no sweet memories to recall in the future if you don’t do sweet things together today.
What made the prodigal son return to his father’s house? It was the sweet memories of the life in his father’s house. He remembered the abundance of food. As the memories poured into his heart, a strong and compelling desire to return home flooded his entire being. Like a very strong cord, those memories pulled him back home.
To build a powerful memory bank of romantic times together, here are some suggestions:
🪴🪹🏵️🍁🌵🌴
(1) DON’T BE FORMAL IN YOUR MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP
Even though, as a couple the husband is the Head, it’s important for you to both remember that you’re also friends and romantic lovers. On this level, you’re equals. You’re friends.
Living together with this consciousness will help you relate freely with each other.
🪴🪹🏵️🍁🌵🌴
(2) GO OUT TOGETHER
The home is the headquarters and base of your marriage. However, you must not be transfixed to the same spot.
Go out together to places of interest from time to time to enjoy yourself. Could be an evening in a good and beautiful Eatery. Or a week end getaway in some swanky hotel. The choice is yours.
One thing is sure: you’ll look back in years to come and you’ll be glad you spent the money you did to have those experiences.

(3) PRACTICE THE “EDENIC LIFE”.
The first couple wore the best clothes: their nakedness. Till this very day, no dress compares with the naked body.
Fortunately, we
have this Best Dress with us 24 hours of every day but how many wear it?
The Naked Body is the real dress of married couples. However, it’s to be worn behind the locked door of your bedroom.
One of the ways to build a rich memory bank is to wear this dress in your bedroom from time to time. Not for intimacy, though.
As you spend an hour together in this matchless and inimitable attire, the biggest and best camera in the world will film everything. This camera is your eyes. Your memory bank will store the images. These memories will be beneficial to you far more than you can imagine.
While wearing your Best Dress you can pray together, play a game, eat together, etc. But on no account should you film or video yourselves with a phone or video camera.
🪴🪹🏵️🍁🌵🌴
(4) DO BODILY EXERCISES TOGETHER.
This doesn’t need much explanation.
You could jug, run and do aerobics together.
You’ll recall these activities in your advanced years with a lot of fondness and nostalgia.
🪴🪹🏵️🍁🌵🌴
(5) DANCE NIGHTS
Once in a while, hold a dance night.
For just the two of you. Of course, your bedroom is your dancing hall.
Have a good bathe that evening, dress up, put on your shoes and wear a sweet perfume.
Get some godly music playing and step on the floor and dance. Don’t dance rough, so you don’t fall. Slow and steady and you’re filling your memory bank as well as enriching your love lives in the moment.
🪴🪹🏵️🍁🌵🌴
(6) GIVE EACH OTHER SOME SENSUAL TREATS AND MASSAGE.
As a couple, you are also “Massage Therapists”.
From time to time, lock your bedroom door, strip completely and give each other a good, gentle and unhurried body massaging services.
Scratching each other’s body gently, tenderly and affectionately is a service you’ll both recall with smiles many years to come.
🪴🪹🏵️🍁🌵🌴
(7) GIVE GIFTS TO EACH OTHER
You can’t love without giving.
Love gives.
Surprise each other with gifts from time to time as God enables you.
Doesn’t have to be expensive items. No.
Give what you can truly afford. It should be something you’re sure will benefit your Spouse.
Gifts create fond and loving memories. So practice gifting each other.
🪴🪹🏵️🍁🌵🌴
Build a rich memory bank by the loving things you do together today. Doing these doesn’t hinder your profession, business, career or ministry. Instead, the benefits will positively impact your calling directly and indirectly.
