Bonding Covenant

Good Morning married Couples

So we have gotten through the first week and so far so good---Praise God.

I have received a few responses from those reading this blog. Thanks, I continue to do so from time to time. It lets me know you are OUT THERE!!!

Let's look at this thought this morning---

----Setting Goals for your marriage that are realistic for 2024.

Have you? If not, think about it and sit down with your spouse and talk about what you would like to see accomplished in your marriage and family this year. If you do not set any goals, then how do you move forward? Dullness and routineness is a death sentence to any marriage. Don't let it get to that. No matter if you have been married one month or 50 years, set goals that are realistic. I have found the goals you set together are the ones that are usually met, even if the goal is more for one of the two spouses. For example---if you set a goal of losing weight, it may be only for one of the two, but both need to be involved, even if just as a coach or encouragement.

Marriage must always be about WIN-WIN. When that happens both will stay engaged in the process of reaching a set goal. Marriage is a teammate affair. You count on each other to do their part. Communication is vital to  reach that goal. So if need be, tear down the walls and begin building together. Amos 3:3 says---"Two cannot walk together less they agree."

As you set goals, also set times when to meet to see how we are doing, and make any adjustments need to be made?  Ask for help if you need it.

Above all, make your goals REALISTIC. It is always better to start small and accomplish something, otherwise you may get discouraged and quit.

Once you accomplish your goal(s) let others know (if possible) so they may be encouraged to set their own goals for 2024.

Let me know what your goals are and I will be your #1-fan.
