“He was my boyfriend before he became my husband.
My husband never makes any decision without asking me first.
He needs my opinion in everything
And trust me it works perfectly.
I do the same. I can’t do a thing without telling my hubby.
These are one of the little secrets to a successful marriage.
Spiritual connection between you and your partner is very important.
For my sisters praying for a husband,
Have you prepared yourselves?
Yours will be easy in JESUS name, Amen. Shallom, Shallom, Shallom.”
Consulting your spouse before making decisions in and out of your marriage shows you highly value their opinion.
Marriage signifies oneness, so making joint decisions helps you connect better with your partner and rely on each other for physical and emotional support.
Setting specific and attainable goals with your spouse and achieving them together allows you to prioritize them in your marriage. Shared goals enhance communication, teamwork, and trust in your marriage.
A beautiful thing about marriage is that you have the ability to share relationship goals with your life partner.
It can be an incredibly powerful move as it deepens your connection, lets you order your marriage in the direction you want it to be, and ultimately helps you prioritize your spouse.
Setting short time goals with your spouse is healthy for your marriage as it allows both partners to discuss their desires, thus improving their relationship.
Pursuing long-term goals together provides a sense of security, commitment, and trust for both partners in the union.
No matter how alike you and your spouse are in values and morals, you won’t always agree on the same things.
Setting goals will allow you to discuss each other’s spending habits, eating habits, household habits, preferences, and individual wants.
