I know many of you are ecstatic about the new year. New opportunities. and the better marriage you hope the year will bring. Well, umm I hate to be the barrier of bad news: a new year will not make your marriage better!
We’ve heard so many couples say “our marriage will be better in the new year.” “The new year we will date more.” “We will talk more.”
And that’s all good and dandy but
your new year will be the same as last year, unless YOU change your mindset and actions.
Let’s be honest, 2014 was a rough year for many, us included. We faced several personal attacks and really felt like throwing our hands up and giving up on our ministry and businesses. It seemed like it would have been easy just to retreat and “give up.” So trust me when I say “I understand that 2015 NEED to be a better year.”
The only way, your marriage will be BETTER and achieve the level of love and growth needed in 2015, is:
•IF YOU DON’T GIVE UP and DON’T GET TIRED!
•Be intentional with your actions, thinking and communication with and concerning your spouse.
•Say positive affirmations daily.
•Clear out the naysayers from your circle. Don’t leave folks in your space that do not respect your marriage and what you desire from your marriage.
•Be aware of the things that your spouse “complain” about and make the necessary changes.
•and Operate in your assigned role as God has designed it.
“Consistency demonstrates commitment. You’re going to earn trust because you’re consistent” ~ Michael Port
The new year doesn’t automatically make things better in your marriage or in your life. You have to make the chances needed to have a better marriage and life.
The new year will be exactly what you put into it. If you want a better marriage, you must do the work to have a better marriage. Don’t wait on osmosis to happen….
What will you be more intentional about to make your marriage better?
