CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My church just started a series on marriage so I’ve been reflecting on what it takes to have a good marriage. It starts with time. When it comes to time and our spouse, we fall into one of three camps:
- You can’t get enough of your spouse: this would commonly be thought of the infatuation or dating phase but I like to believe it does not have to be limited to that. This is where you just want to be around your spouse as much as possible because of they joy you get from them
- You’re not getting enough of your spouse: This would be where you fill your life up with so much stuff/activities (some that matter very much like kids and others that do not…you fill in the blank) that you don’t have time for each other and you essentially become roommates
- You’ve had enough of your spouse: I’m sure you can imagine what this entails and you don’t want to be here.
We need to be investing in our marriage (relationships for those not married). We take 1+ hour a few days a week to invest in our health/fitness but what do we do on the days off? I sleep in. But I could get up at 5AM like I do on beat down days and read a book on marriage or do something thoughtful for my wife. What else are we investing time in that may not be as important as our marriage? I believe that all marriages are in one of three states/stages
- Thriving: knowing can go wrong, neither of you can do any wrong by the other. This is usually experienced during dating and the few years after marriage (or until you have kids….am I right?!…)
- Striving: You know things aren’t the way you want them to be and your are working to make them better
- Surviving: This is the “let’s just get through this without divorce or killing each other” phase
Start investing in your marriages/relations ships so you can experience the joy of a thriving marriage with someone you cannot get enough of!
