When you are having fun together you are learning more about each other. Many people let their guard down when they are having, so they are being themselves. This gives you a chance to see your spouse in their good true colors, because sometimes after marriage "true colors" seem to always be the bad side that is hidden.
 Spending fun time together can help you both relax. Sometimes between all of the obligations that are pulling you both in different directions, it can be hard to find time together. And sometimes it seems that the time you do have together is crammed with things, so fun is hard to come across. Sit down together and find a time when you can take a break from your routine and schedule some fun time, with no other obligations. You will be surprised how much better you feel after some fun time with your spouse.
 Fun time, when obligations and stress aren't pulling you every which way, is a great time to talk to each other. The slow pace and laid back atmosphere of fun time helps you to open up and feel like talking isn't wasting time. You used to love to talk, when you were dating you would spend hours on the phone! Finding that talking time can help you so much.
 Time that is spent with your spouse with the intensions of having fun will be when you grow closer together. A marriage and all of its stress can pull you apart, make you forget what your spouse means to you and almost make your marriage a task. Fun time helps you to remember why you love your spouse, how to laugh at yourself, and especially what a marriage really means.
 You and your spouse have to have at least one common interest, even if it is just the kids or dog. The more time you spend with each other doing something that you have in common, the stronger your marriage is going to be. Remember that marriage is supposed to be blissful, and even though every moment is not, make the most out of moments that are.
 Sometimes it is hard to remember that your spouse cares about you. They are so busy with a thousand other things and they just don't pay much attention to you anymore. Scheduling fun time for the both of you will show that you care, and as a bonus it will give you the time with each other to remember that you both really do care.
 A marriage can't survive on a goodbye kiss in the morning and a pass in the hall kiss in between work and meetings. You can't work out problems and help each other grow in only five minutes a day. A marriage takes work and dedication. If you don't ever find time to have fun with your spouse, you marriage is going to become more of a burden than a blessing. Having fun is just one of very important ingredients in a happy and successful marriage.
