Managing Expectations with a Plan (Just a Tip)
Make a game plan for the next day every night before bed! Who’s cooking, cleaning, picking up kids, work out, time up, etc. This is called expectation management! If you follow the plan, nobody is disappointed, expectations were set up front!
What Saved a Marriage
- The will to want to work on it (Both must want it to work).
- An outside voice (someone qualified-counselor) who is unbiased.
- Some apologies to help the hurt, and recognize a mistake was made.
- Both people need to take responsibilities (because there is two of you, and we’re not perfect).
- Real communication without the counselor/3rd party (Friends, family, Pastor).
- You need to be involved in the community and talk about things (proves you’re not alone).
