Consistency is Key
You can’t take a road trip if you don’t have the keys to your car. You could walk, but you wouldn’t get very far, and the journey would be harder than it needed to be because you wouldn’t be using the tools available to you. Without the proper tools, you would be working harder, but gaining fewer results. Keys are a necessity if you’re going to travel easily and go further.
Consistency is the key to having a good marriage. Without consistency, anything we do or say will not have the same effect because it will not be fully received. Just like going on a road trip with no keys, having a marriage without consistency is doing double the work with less result. It just makes things harder for no reason at all.
Consistency is the place where trust and peace are established and where they will thrive. According to Google being consistent means acting or doing something in the same way over time, unchanging in nature or standard. Let’s focus on the “over time” part of this definition for just a moment.
Trust and peace are two things that are established over time. You don’t just wake up one day and fully and completely trust someone and that includes your spouse. Trust and peace start to form the moment you meet someone and continue to form over time as actions are done the same way.
If you want to accomplish something big, you have to make small consistent choices.
Small consistent choices over time create big results.
By choosing life-giving words, over time, you can build trust and peace in your marriage. By doing what you say you will do over time, trust and peace can be established. By showing up every day and doing your best over time, trust and peace can be established.
Consistency doesn’t mean the absence of mistakes; it just means the presence of your best effort. Will you make mistakes? Absolutely, but when you are consistent in trying your best those mistakes won’t break your relationship.
If you want to take a road trip you have to get in your car and drive each mile. If you want there to be peace and trust in your marriage, you must get up every day and make those consistent small decisions that will add up over time.
