Kathy,
We would love to have you join us at the DANCE!
So... along with registrations, I'm also hearing some interesting comments regarding the CELEBRATE THE DANCE event.
Most of you are intrigued by the idea. It sounds 'novel', I think was the word.
"Something fun, yet more than that!", another person said.
I have heard gals squeal with delight and guys sigh as they consider the tremendous possibility that they might look 'less than graceful' on the dance floor. But I've also heard some guys say, "Hey, great idea! while their wives sheepishly nod their head back and forth when they thought I wasn't looking to cue their husband's not to get to excited. I chuckled! Don't they know you need to be more direct with husband's for them to catch on to clues? (or am I revealing a secret that is only true of my husband?) Actually, that couple is one of the couples that will be attending!
I completely understand all of the emotions! Ren does too! While this event sounds like a great idea, it does take a significant amount of effort! First, for many of us it means overcoming some pretty strong needs to at least appear to be comfortable in the settings in which we place ourselves. Since none of us are ballroom dancers, this is a huge challenge! So I completely get that this event won't interest everyone.
I also understand that this is an incredibly busy time of the year with weddings and graduation parties and all the other things we try to fit in to this first breath of summer. I know you can't do everything. Neither can we! This is just one of those things we allowed in our schedule this year. We know that you might not be able to do that right now. We may try again in the fall!
But I want to ask you a question.
How much of your decision about whether or not you come to this event reflects your current investment in your marriage relationship?
As I have already said, I recognize that there are many reasons not to take part in this event. But as a relationship coach, I would be remiss if I didn't ask you to consider 'why' you will or won't take part! One dance coach said, "What's true on the dance floor is most often true in life." I'm guessing that's true of getting to the dance floor too! Your marriage is worth considering the answer to the 'why' question. I'm not saying if you don't come, you don't care enough about your marriage! But maybe!!!
Have you ever considered how much your relationship in marriage resembles that of a ballroom dance?
What about you? Learned any new steps lately?

THOUGHTS & TIPS
Twelve Reasons to Dance with Your Spouse
A Secret of Successful Marriages - - Dancing
By Sheri & Bob Stritof, About.com Guide
Dancing promotes healthy living and romance. It doesn't make any difference what type of dancing the two of you do. Any style of dancing is beneficial.
-
Dancing together is an excellent way to exercise. "Depending on the step, ballroom dancing can burn anywhere from 250 calories to 400 calories an hour — about the same as a brisk half-hour walk on a treadmill, and the more demanding dances like the salsa, samba and cha-cha can be comparable to an intense session at the gym."

-
Dancing together is good for your heart, both physically and romantically.
- Dancing together creates another way for the two of you to connect with each other. As you dance together, your eyes meet, your bodies are close together, you can feel one another breathing.
- When you dance, you hold and touch one another for longer than a quick hug.
-
Dancing together can put you both in a sensual mood.
"Holding, touching and moving to the music is the most romantic skill any couple can add to their lives."
