Expectations play a vital role in shaping marriages. In part two of my conversation with Mark and Jill Savage, we explore how four expectations in marriage can set a couple up for success. Expectations will either bring two people closer together or create a rift between them. This is why it’s important to learn to manage expectations within marriage. As a marriage coach, I've had the privilege of excavating the intricacies of marriages that, at their core, are molded by the expectations we hold. The Savages and I share personal experiences from our marriage journeys of rebuilding after infidelity. Listen and learn how understanding and realigning expectations can greatly impact and enhance your marriage.

Key Takeaways:

  • See Conflict as a Catalyst for Growth:
    Conflict should be expected and embraced in a relationship.
  • Learn to Navigate Disappointments:
    Accept that disappointment is part of any partnership.
  • Continue Investing in Your Marriage:
    Just like any worthwhile endeavor, marriage requires ongoing education and investment.

The protection that we all need, now and in the face of the unknowns of the future, is found in the Lord’s promise to provide… absolutely all that we need.
