Simple Dollar Talks Marriage
I keep running into some of my favorite blogs discussing marriage, and it seems The Simple Dollar is no exception.
The blog has been featuring a five-part series on the blessed event of marriage, covering such topics as courtship, engagement, the wedding itself, honeymoons, and having a reasonable marriage.
The final topic, on reasonable marriage, just went live last week, and after reading it I feel like I’ve learned a few things.
Remember to both talk and listen. Not only is it important to talk to each other often, but it’s also important to listen to what your partner is saying. I tend to like to be right, so this is a good reminder for me!
Plan big purchases together. We’re not in a place where we’re making big purchases yet, but when we do, I’ll keep the tips on this topic at the forefront of my mind.
Talk about long-term goals together. Not only making sure you’re both still on the same page with these goals, but also talking about how you can get closer to these long term goals today and tomorrow is such a good suggestion. We definitely need to be more intentional about this!
And my favorite? Reaffirm your love every single day. I try to look my husband in the eyes every day and tell him I love him, and I hope that as our marriage continues this will be a practice I keep up with. It’s so fun to see him light up when I tell him how much he means to me!
