6 Habits to a Healthy, Godly Marriage: Habit # 6


6 Habits to a Healthy, Godly Marriage:

HABIT #6 - INFUSE YOUR LIVES WITH SHARED MEANING


I often ask singles the following question: "After you're married, what do you plan to do for the next 40 years?" And I usually follow-up by saying, "And besides having fun, what else will you do with each other?"

The ultimate in meaning is to share a common philosophy of life purpose.
Human beings need meaning like we need water. Happily married couples enrich their relationship by sharing meaningful experiences with each other. The ultimate in meaning is to share a common philosophy of life and life purpose.

Some other specific ways of infusing your relationship with meaning are feeding the hungry together, attending church together, or preparing a meal together.

When couples share truly meaningful experiences, they bond on a deeper level.

These six habits may seem small, but when practiced intentionally and consistently, they will form the backbone of a deeply fulfilling marriage.
