If you want your marriage to be great, here are some Gs to help you achieve that goal. And yes, you guessed it, goal is the first one.
Goal
You goal should be to constantly keep working at you marriage. You will never achieve the perfect marriage but that doesn’t mean you should stop working on it and aim to make it the best it can be.
There’s another important thing in marriage to do with goals. Are your spouse and your goals the same? Do you want the same things out of life and out of your marriage? If you’ve got different goals in mind then I suggest you sit down and have a good long conversation about those things so you each know where the other is coming from and what those goals are and see if you can work your goals together. Or are they incompatible. If there are irreconcilable then that presents a problem you will have to work out.
Giving
Marriage is about giving – giving of yourself to please your spouse, giving of your time to do something they want. It may even mean giving of your name. On that issue I was proud to take my husband’s name and be Mrs. I want people to know I’m married and proud to be to my man. It’s a way of honoring my husband.
So what, if it means sometimes giving up our rights to make the other person happy. If each person in the marriage is in giving mode then it will all even out because you will each be looking at how you can please and give to the other person.
Generosity
Be generous. I mean with expensive gifts, although an occasional small gift is sometimes nice. I mean generous with your love – both words of love and physical signs of affection as well as with your time. Nothing says I love you more than someone who is prepared to put themselves out for our benefit.
