Blake Robert Templeton argues that husbands kill romance by dropping the playfulness that drew their wives in. He offers a three-step fix: adopt a "Lover Prince" mindset, paint a vivid picture of shared experiences, and anchor invitations in spiritual principle like Psalm 37:4.
We gotta remember how it was back when you first started. Like, love was a game. You were literally in pursuit for your wife's heart. Her joy doesn't respond to your pressure. It responds to an invitation, like alluring her with your presence and your affirmation. Like, playfulness must be invited, not demanded. So you got rigid, man. You got stuck in a rut and you forgot how to actually go pursue. Like, let me give you an example. Go back to how you used to think. So So go into Lover Prince, go into that playful adventure, and then cast vision for something that you want to do with her and tell her how it would make you feel to spend that kind of time with her. That reminds me of Psalm 37:4, delight yourself in the Lord. Like, give her the picture of that adventure and she will fall in alignment and love that invitation.
