A Rainy Day Project

Saving for a rainy day has long been seen as saving for a disaster, but few people think of projects in the same light. They see interests and hobbies as something to be done at a good time, but they might just be the thing that can save a relationship at a bad time.

Couples who have been looking for something in common might find a rainy day project is their ticket to paradise. It can be almost anything they care to tackle, but it should be something that provides them with the opportunity to show their mettle and any skills they can contribute to the project.

Remodelling a Room

Many homes have a room that is nothing more than a catchall, and few people really take the time to organise it. They see it as a project that will never be completed, and it suffers their neglect as the unused items inside bloom with dust. For those couples who need something to do as a team, this is a good project.

They can go through the items together, decide as a couple what can be tossed or recycled, and they can then organise whatever is left over. It might take them more than a day if they want to paint the walls and add some fitted furniture and fitted wardrobes, but the good feelings between them will last much longer.

Holiday Decorating

Many are the families that have fallen by the wayside when it comes to really decorating their home for the holidays, but some of them have learned it can become a project for them as a team. Their interest can be piqued all year long if they are into collecting holiday items, and they can have the joy of setting them out for friends and family to admire.

For those who need to find a hobby in common, it is a good way to get started. It can become an annual event, or it can even be something they do for every holiday they celebrate throughout the year.

Seasons of the Garden

Few people like to go outside and sit in the garden when it is cold, but there are still three other seasons of the garden they can enjoy together. They can plant and feed their garden during the spring, they can enjoy the blooms of summer, and they can set their garden to rights before the cold weather hits in the autumn of each year.

It can be a bond that brings them closer together as the seasons pass, and it can be a time for them to reminisce about the years they have gone through as a couple.

There are many rainy day projects that can keep a couple together, or they can strengthen the bonds of their relationship. Some of them will be done only once a year, but others can be enjoyed in different seasons. There are also those that will not need to be done more than once a decade or so, but they can still bring a sense of togetherness and joy to a couple who wants a happy and joyful home life.
