Takeaways
from last night's Marriage Boosters facilitated by Jennifer Harley Chalmers,
Ph.D.
I
love you so much
And
because our marriage influences all areas of our life
I
want to get some things right
How
do I make deposits to your love bank?
How
can I meet your emotional needs to produce that feeling of “romantic love”?
What
habits do I need to change?
What
habits need to be sustained?
How
can I be your greatest human source of happiness instead of pain?
How
can I cause you to feel incredible attraction towards me over and over again?
How
do you want me to show affection?
Will
it help if we often have intimate conversations?
How
do you want me to be more honest and open?
How
do you want me to show that for us and our family, I’m committed?
How
can I be your recreational companion?
How
can I give you financial and domestic support?
On
the Gift of Time
How
can we steward our gift of time to make our relationship flourish?
Do we
need to fight for our privacy
And
schedule a time just for each other every week
Giving,
say, 15 hours a week that’s of good quality
Prioritizing
it over other lesser commitments
Engaging
in mutually enjoyable acivities and merriments?
Let’s
form a lifestyle and set of behaviors and habits that will sustain our feelings
of romantic love.
I
love you and I commit our relationship to God.
