Guest: Around our 30th anniversary, we were reminiscing a lot about our wedding. We were both saying, "It would be wonderful to go back to that romantic look-in-the-eyes,-no-responsibility time. So our wedding and honeymoon was probably our most romantic time.[ Read Full Transcript ]
Dennis Rainey: One time, I asked Barbara, "Out of all the adventures and romantic times we've had together, what's been your favorite?" I have to tell you, we've had a ton of them all around the world. I was surprised by her answer. Do you know what she said?
"Our honeymoon."
Now, I know that's not true for some folks. But for us it was an all-time memory maker. I took weeks to plan a two-week honeymoon in the Colorado Rockies. We camped, hiked, explored the magnificent Rocky Mountains, fished, took tons of pictures of golden Aspen, and we stayed in a cabin next to a roaring river.
One final thought. Maybe your marriage could use some adventure -- just some time for the two of you to sit and talk and share your thoughts and dreams with one another. It may not be a second honeymoon, but you can be creative. Go for it!
I'm Dennis Rainey, and that's Real (adventurous) FamilyLife.
