Do you remember getting the
keys to your first apartment or your first house? It was so exciting and the
possibilities seemed endless! Then, after awhile, you realized these places
don’t take care of themselves. You have to put time and energy into
maintenance. Sometimes repairs need to be made and things need to be patched
up. And isn’t that just like our marriages? We get married to this perfect guy
who is going to love us and protect us and take care of us—he’s a prince and
you’re a princess and you’re going to live happily ever after! And then, after
awhile, you realized that marriages don’t take care of themselves. You have to
put time and energy into maintenance. Sometimes repairs need to be made and
things need to be patched up.
Oftentimes one of the
biggest obstacles we face in our marriages is that as we become overwhelmed by
our responsibilities and the claims on our time and energy, we get stuck on
auto-pilot. We forget who we are, what we’re working towards. We have rules for
our children (do your chores, brush your teeth, don’t talk back) but not rules
of trust and respect in our marriage. And life just chips away at us. I’m going
to give you the tools you need to get the keys to YOUR castle. To write the
story you want to live, to create the connection you want with your prince (who
is now a King), to establish the rules of your Kingdom and to thrive in
abundance.
