Day 8: Marriage Planning
Marriage and family planning is important for two primary reasons. First, to create a structured plan to develop a healthy flow of your now shared life. Second, to decrease unnecessary conflict that comes from misunderstanding, faulty expectations, or words never spoken (leaving your partner needing a degree in mind reading!). Consider these four: responsibilities, decision-making, children, and finances. No doubt there will still be plenty of issues that will arise over the years, but I trust you will use your Couch Time and Table Time to address them to continue to experience growth in your marriage.
The more you intentionally communicate and put a viable, reasonable structure in place that you both commit to, the greater harmony you will experience for years to come. Plans offer safeguards and decrease unnecessary conflict. These strategies will be different for every couple, with each one’s different personal variables, but the principles are the same. The primary principle undergirding every plan is LOVE: what would love have me do? What would love have US do? Love commits to creating wise plans to guide your US, and love commits to walking out those plans daily.
Reflection: I encourage you to become the best team in working together in the functional aspects for the good of your US. Give thought to what wisdom you need in responsibilities, training your children, decisions, and financial concerns. Commit to being advocates and prayer warriors for your children or grandchildren. Ask yourselves, "How can we be wise stewards of the monies God has given to us?" Choose to be generous with cheerful hearts in all aspects of your marriage.
