6 Simple Ways to be Intentional in Marriage

6 Simple Ways to be Intentional in Marriage

Marriage is a lifelong commitment. Filled with highs and lows. Staying happily married is hard work.

No marriage can go on without problems or conflict. Unless both spouses choose to silence their own voice in order to avoid conflict.

When you put two people under one roof, there will always be some kind of conflict. It may not be a fight but there is going to be disagreements - that's natural.

Let alone when those two people decide to procreate. Having children can make it difficult to maintain a relationship with your spouse. Not to mention the addition of maintaining a household and working.

I personally believe our life priorities should be God, marriage, children, and then everything else. But how do you execute that on a daily basis?

Well ultimately it is up to you. When it comes to your marriage being intentional is important to maintaining your connection.

6 Simple Ways to be Intentional in Marriage

  1. Finding ways to spend quality time together.
  2. Talking with one another.
  3. Collaborating with one another on the finances, parenting, and household decisions.
  4. Compromising to solve issues that arise.
  5. Loving on one another - even when your upset.
  6. Finding hobbies to do together.
  7. Fight fair. Don't raise your voice or belittle one another.

It all boils down to this simple question. How can we keep the spark going? Keep that question at the forefront of your mind and acting accordingly.

Remember that spark you felt when you first met. Remind yourself of those early on relationship experiences that make you smile.

No matter what you go through as a couple. Chemistry doesn't dissolve. It may fizzle out. But it's always there. It just needs a little spark to be reignited.

Don't allow a temporary situation to cause you to forget the reason you said I do.

In Jesus name we pray Amen.
