GPS can save relationships faster than self-help books

by Marie McKinney-Oates on November 5, 2009

It didn’t take long to convince my husband we needed GPS for our cars.

Me: Honey, can we get GPS-

Husband: I already know the perfect one. It’s on my Best Buy wish list. I’ll order it now.

Wow. If only he took out the trash that quickly…

I wanted the GPS because I was tired of writing directions down on fast food receipts. There had to be a better way. And GPS proved to be that better way.

GPS has also proved to be just the spice that my husband and I needed in our relationship. The GPS has the power to make everything feel like an adventure. Even going to my parents’ house for dinner. We will spend the additional 5 minutes telling the GPS where we’re going (the home I grew up in and could get to IN MY SLEEP) because hearing our little GPS lady say “Turn right in 5.2 miles” makes us feel like we’re on a roadtrip.

What are some little, never-woulda-thunk-it ways that you’ve added a little adventure/spice/romance/humor to your relationship lately?

This is a must-have in my relationship! My husband and I understand directions completely differently and would fight about where we were going. Not the case anymore with our GPS!
