Lisa and I are probably one of the happiest couples in the world. We don’t have a car. We don’t have children. We don’t own a home. We don’t have any pets or plants. Most of our possessions are in a storage unit we rent. The rest of our possessions can fit into a few suitcases. What we do have is freedom to experience life together. We are not tied down to staying home to take care of our kids and pets and we don’t have to worry about a car breaking down. Last month, we were asked if we would like to tour Beijing for a week with a friend. We didn’t have to decline due to not receiving enough notice to find a house sitter or baby sitter. We said, “Sure!” The next week, we were having the time of our life climbing The Great Wall, exploring The Forbidden City, and meeting a Chinese man who raises prize winning crickets worth thousands of dollars each. If you want a happy marriage, spend your time doing experiential activities. These activities don’t need to be as extravagant as visiting China. They can be as simple as going out for a dinner and movie together or taking a walk together. The key to a happy marriage is creating a lifestyle that allows you to experience life together. 28
