3 Critical Promises to Achieve Marital Success
Mar 11th, 2010 by Janie Behr
Today we can insure almost anything from a number of possible disasters. We insure our cars, our homes, and even our health. But what about our marriages? Can we protect them from disaster?
The tools provided in the Marital Coaching Marriage Development Plan are designed to help couples understand their challenges and set goals. In other words, to provide marriage “insurance.”
Marriage can be the most rewarding relationship you will build in your life. However, it is important to discuss and clarify objectives and goals to avoid entering into a relationship with unrealistic expectations. Much disappointment in marriage has to do with expectations not being met, and the more unrealistic the expectations, the greater the likelihood a partner in the relationship won’t be able to meet them.
Here are three critical promises to achieve marital success:
- Promise to meet your partner’s most important emotional needs.
- Promise to give your partner your undivided attention at least 15 hours each week.
- Promise to avoid being the cause of your partner’s unhappiness.
It’s not enough to make promises—the key is in acting on them.
