The Marriage Podcast for Smart People show

Summary: Another quick summer episode here as we take a break from our usual programming.<br> And, contrary to what you might assume from the title, we’re not going to ask you to do anything illegal!<br> <br>  <br> A Graffiti Tag for Your Marriage<br> Our graffiti tag is simple. It just looks like C+V.<br> But we have fun putting it different places.<br> We finger-paint it onto dirty windows, in frosty windows, even under our first Ikea kitchen table. Hey, I even emblazoned it on our lawn with herbicide!<br> We don’t spray it on railcars or carve it into picnic tables at the park. It’s really just for us.<br> Why Have a Graffiti Tag?<br> This isn’t just a random idea.<br> I think every couple should have something like this that tells you who you are. To us, this is a symbol of commitment, togetherness and love. It is a symbol of the bond we cherish.<br> So we stick it different places. Surprise each other with it. It’s a reminder of our commitment to one another.<br> If you think it’s cheesy – that’s fine. But I want to challenge you to think about what you do to remind yourself and your spouse about the bond between you.<br> The wedding rings you wear are great but you get used to them and kinda forget about them, right? So whether you choose to have a graffiti tag or some other symbol between you, choose something that will serve as a reminder down through the years of that bond that you cherish.<br> For us, it’s a touchstone. Lots of things change through the years but C+V is always there.<br> How about for you?<br> Another quick summer episode here as we take a break from our usual programming.<br> And, contrary to what you might assume from the title, we’re not going to ask you to do anything illegal!<br> <br>  <br> A Graffiti Tag for Your Marriage<br> Our graffiti tag is simple.
