What did you expect when you said ‘I do?’ Marriage can be disheartening when your expectations are crushed. Don’t let what you think wreck what you have.
Expectations are great when it’s tangible goals like graduating with a degree or learning a specific trade.

But when it comes to relationships, especially marriage, expectations can destroy what you’ve built over time.
Go back in the good ole days. No stress, only wrapped in love.
Yet that’s not real life.
So don’t get caught up in your expectations.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Open yourself up to love!
And it’s not any love. It’s the LOVE that drew you to your spouse. It’s the LOVE that gives you tingles just because.
Whatever you look for, you will find. So be sure you’re looking for the right stuff.
- Be PRESENT in your marriage. Don’t shoot for the stars. Look at where you are. Be present in every moment. Don’t rush to get always from point A to point B. Sometimes it’s good to hang out where you are and be grateful for what you have.
- Be GRATEFUL for your marriage. It’s easy to carry a chip on your shoulder when you think your spouse isn’t doing something right. See your spouse for his/her strengths. And be gracious with his/her weaknesses.
- Be VULNERABLE with your spouse. This is where you don’t shut out your spouse. Instead, you open yourself up for love and to be loved.
CHALLENGE: Where in your marriage do you need to focus?
CAUTION: And don’t think you’ve got it all put together, because that’s when you know what hits the fan.
CELEBRATE: Take one step at a time.
Love is a beautiful gift. But loves needs to be tended to as well. Treat each other with respect letting go of what you expect so there will be no wreck.
Make your marriage count every day!
