How do we bridge the gap between a couple’s desires? I believe the answer lies in honest communication. Hi I’m Lysa TerKeurst for Proverbs 31 Ministries. It’s easy for women to make the mistake of assuming their husbands are mind readers. Yet men will be unable to meet our expectations if they don’t know what they are. Here are 5 ways to bridge the gap of unmet expectations:
1. Spend time alone together. If you have children, trade off babysitting with another family for a date night.
2. If you can’t express your feelings verbally, write them out first and then discuss them.
3. Be honest about your intimate relationship.
4. Pray about your expectations to ensure they are fair and realistic.
5. Get creative by making a list of things you can do for one another to better show your love.
While romance is wonderful, it’s even better if you work at it. For more ideas on how to keep the sparks in your marriage, log onto Proverbs31.org today!
