What kinds of expectations did you walk down the aisle with? Unmet expectations can create issues for couples. Maybe we should have just written out our vows specifying word-for-word our expectations for marriage. Mine would have gone something like this: Promise that you will provide me with a house that has a white picket fence and window flower boxes. I want you to get involved with me emotionally in those chick flicks. Promise that you will tolerate any and all rapid mood swings and demands for chocolate …you get the picture. It may sound ridiculous, but many women expect things like this while their spouse has absolutely no clue. Then, miscommunication leads to frustration and a rift develops between them. Commit to discussing your desires regularly so that communication and trust remain strong. Don’t forget to give lots of grace. From today’s radio show, “Everyday Life with Lysa & Renee,” a production of Proverbs 31 Ministries.
