No offense, but, how interesting are you?

And how interesting do you think you are to your spouse?

There’s an old adage in Hollywood: 

Be anything but don’t be boring.

So...Just How Interesting Are YOU?

Does your spouse think you're boring, dull, or predictable?

This conversation is uncomfortable but important because it’s important to the health and happiness of your marriage.

Here’s the truth of the matter: 

You owe it to your spouse to be an interesting person.

What do the following have in common?

Falling into a rut...slipping into sterile routines...being mind-numbingly predictable..

They are ALL choices.

So, start choosing differently.

Why?

Because I promise you that your spouse enjoys interesting people.

Your Mission

Challenge yourself to be an interesting person.

Get curious!

Open your mind. 

Open your heart. 

Investigate. 

Explore. 

Question. 

Laugh. 

Go on adventures. 

Play!

Make memories. 

Live in awe.

If your most exciting and stimulating conversation of the day with your spouse is about the weather, increasing gas prices, or "did you hear what happened to so-and-so?" you're in trouble. 

So, read, know what’s happening in the world, make new discoveries, be aware, be awake. Be fully alive!

Most of all, strive to be interesting.
