Car versus Relationship

Car versus Relationship

Do you spend more time taking care of your car than your relationship? For a great number of us the answer to this question is yes. Think about it, every night most of us garage our car to protect it from the elements. The everyday elements and demands of life can put strain on our relationships so they too like your car need a little care and attention each day. Random acts of affection and attention are a great way to achieve this.

Once a week on average we fill our cars with fuel and keep an eye on the water and oil. If we don’t do this the car will let us down, perhaps leaving us stranded in the middle of no where. Just like with your car if you don’t re-fuel your relationship on a regular basis you may find your self stranded and wishing you had taken some time to take care of what was important. I recommend regular date nights as a great way to re-fuel.

What about insurance? To own a car and not insure it against theft or damage is in my opinion asking for some major heart ache and financial hardship should something go wrong. Your insurance provides you with peace of mind every time you get in your car or leave it unattended. Like wise planning a special Romantic Occasion with love, thought and care acts as an insurance policy to protect your relationship from damage or theft! My husband and I head away for a night or two four times a year. This costs no more than the insurance, warrants and mechanics bills for two cars. As a good relationship is far harder to replace than a car I believe this is an investment we should all be making.

So next time you hop in your car take a moment to think about your special someone. Ask yourself, is it time for an insurance renewal, re-fuel or some protection from the elements?
