Marriage Monday
Marriage Plan
Recently I have been studying the seven habits of effective people and considering a life plan.
This made me think
What is my Marriage Plan?
Living intentionally what is it that I want the epitaph (only through a physical death) of my marriage to say?
That last day I live here with him. That day when all he might have of me is a memory?
Oh this is not to me morose Oh No but to intentionally consider what it is I wish for this life to be from a far reaching future tense. So that I might implement actions where any neglect might existent.
Now this is to consider for every role of my life but here I am focused on my marriage to Steve our history yet to be created...
These things so far I have pondered.
*That there would continue never ever be a doubt within him of my Love and devotion to our unity deeper than a friendship. Of my unconditional love, all effort to understand and walk knowledgeably into wisdom as his help in this life.
*To NEVER do him harm or evil all the days of my life.To co-parent with wisdom and courage. By being prudent and wise in our funds, relationships, and roles. To make a priority of self care.
*I desire to support him in our interdependence to become the all of who we are created to become. In word and in action speaking life and uplifting him in doing what is right and honorable.
* To be HIS Beauty to come to and to think of and dwell on in the harshness of this present day world reality. By taking better care of my physical health do what I am able to do as not to add worry or fear of the future to his days. A hiding place and a fortress to look forward to coming home to. When he thinks of a woman that My image in his mind (both spiritual, mental and physical) cause his heart to race.
To pursue wholeness of my being in all aspects.

Beautiful post.
Donetta---I love that. I know those feelings! I want Jeff to remember the "good"...and the face of the LORD in me.
I didn't think it morose at all! I thought it was very "real". We leave them (when we go) with the "real us"....how we really are in Christ and with our family---our husbands know the REAL us!
You constantly display such a loving heart to me! I am anxiously waiting for our retreat! SO I can HUG YOUR NECK!!!
These are some very positive goals to have for your marriage! I read the Seven Habits book some time ago, and found it quite inspiring.
I love your marriage story. God is good, and you're a very good wife, Donetta.
Thanks for joining us for Marriage Monday today.

I like these ideas and your desire to intentionally act on them. Having them in the back of your mind probably doesn't count, huh?
I love the "goals" you have set for your marriage. Great post!

This is a great idea! The old saying,
If you fail to plan then you plan to fail" rings so true!
