Sparkle, Sparkle!

I used to babysit for a woman who would get her engagement ring cleaned regularly.  I thought it was odd that she had that on her to-do list every month.  However, I have come to understand that taking the time to care for the rings that symbolize marriage and the commitment we make our spouse is important.  I believe we have a deeper appreciation for the things we take care of.

Make it a date and go to the jewelry store together to get your rings polished.  A great place to go is the Ben Bridge at the Bellevue Collection.  They offer complimentary cleaning and you can shop around the mall while you wait.  Take the time to talk to your spouse about a way you can polish your marriage or home.  Can you set a goal of something you’d like to work on together?  Maybe it’s doing some yard work to polish up the front yard, going to the gym together to polish up our physique, or taking more time to practice listening.  Whatever it is that needs a little tender loving care, you’ll be able to appreciate it more as you put the time and effort into keeping it polished.
