So you guys have gotten married. You’ve had a couple of off-springs and you have purchased the house with the white picket fence. Now what do you guys do?
I’m glad you asked the question.
If you are feeling like you guys have done what you were supposed to in marriage, then the first thing you to do NOW is realize that there is much more to marriage then kids and house.
Let me ask you a few questions to get you to thinking about your marriage:
- How strong is your foundation?
- What goals do you and your spouse have for your marriage?
- What is the game plan once the children are gone?
- Do you truly know your spouse? Have you taken the time to learn their likes, dislikes, and wishes?
- Most importantly, do you have a true understanding on what God design for marriage is?
If you are not able to answer these questions, then your Now What task is to devise a plan for your marriage to understand these 5 questions and have an answer for them.
However, this is not an individual task. These questions must be asked and answered by the two of you. As a couple, your main focus is to become one in all things. So share your thoughts and discuss the questions.
Don’t get caught up in buying houses and having children that you forget that marriage is to make two into one. In becoming one, you must mesh on every level. Don’t leave anything to chance.
Set the stage and tone for your marriage by talking and communicating with each other about your thoughts and dreams and how they align and will align with God’s purpose.
So what is your NOW WHAT task? Share…

Great Beth,
Date night is so important. We love our kids but we must stay connected to our spouse. Please let me know how the date turns out.
