Y’all, we made it to another year. 2017 was a year of reflections. Last year, provided you with a good view on who you are in relationships and last year had you guessing the who, the why and the what when it came to the relationships you hold near and dear to your heart. Well, that’s the experience I had in 2017. This year, the marriage trends will challenge what we know as the norm.
2018 is the year to create and maintain healthy relationships. This will be achieved by you staying aware of the growth you experience personally as an individual but also the growth you experience in those relationships that are important to you.

So I wanted to share 3 marriage trends we will see in 2018.
2018 Marriage Trends
1. Couples will move toward more freedom in thinking and doing when it comes to their marriage. They will not be confined to what was instead will challenge previous marriage taboos to do the things that are best for their family.
2. Men will take an active role in investing time and experiences with their wife. We will see more husbands planning and/or asking for more date nights with their wife.
3. Believe it or not, more and more couples are staying together. We will witness a shift in seeing more happy and loving couples this year.

I challenge you to embrace these trends. Be industrious in your intent toward your marriage this year. The bond and foundation you create will be beneficial for you and your spouse.
What are some marriage trends you think we will see this year?
Rebecca Bryant says
I am liking this shift. I believe we need to see more communication in marriages. I like knowing that there could be a shift to longer-lasting marriages. I think people give up too soon sometimes.
Emily says
This is all so interesting! I think something like marriage is so important and if there is ways to improve upon it that is always a good thing. My husband and I have been married 10 years and it has been because of hard work, love and mutual respect for each other.
Ashley says
I think it would be great to see more relationships last in 2018! I hope to see your trend predictions come true!
Heather A Lawrence says
Love the name of your blog!
After 4 little ones I too am “still dating my spouse”.
My goal for 2018 is to daily put my spouse before myself and before my children.
In everything just like God intended marriage to be!
Nancy L says
Your post is very uplifting! I’m happy to hear that the trend is changing back to couples staying together. Marriage is truly a blessing. Hubby and I will be married 30 years this coming May. 🙂
Alicia says
I just forwarded this to my husband. I love what you wrote. I hope it’s a great year for everyone
Cynthia says
It looks like it’s going to be a good year! I am very grateful to have a husband that is so involved in our relationship, I’d like to see more people enjoying their marriage and not thinking about it as a burden!
Milena says
Personally, I know that I need to make date night happen more often. I also need to make self-care a priority. That’s a trend that I think will be big this year- self-care.
