Experience Life Together to be Happy Together

This morning I saw a headline on CNN that says it all:

“Study: Experiences make us happier than possessions”

It’s satisfying to find that scientific studies now validate what I have discovered
to be true in my own life. An experience creates more lasting pleasure than a
possession.
Let’s apply this concept to your marriage. Many couples get married with ideas
of what their new life together will become. They imagine that they will buy a
house with a two car garage, they will have one or two children, and they will
make enough money to have a happy life. They imagine that having these
things will make them happy.
The thing you should know is that having a house and having children and
having cars will not ultimately be what makes you happy. What will make you
the happiest will be the experiences you have in that house and with your
children. You will be happy when you remember that romantic night when you
ate that spaghetti dinner by candle light in your dining room together. That time
when you and the kids were playing with your new puppy in the backyard. That
time when you hiked along the Grand Canyon together and then watched the
sunset while keeping each other warm in the cool evening air. 27
