I love this question... Can you SHOW me your PRIORITIES on your CALENDAR?
❤️
As you are thinking ahead to your year ahead many will say they are prioritizing their personal goals, work goals, family goals, or relationship goals... But the question is are those priorities on your calendar. In Ink. Every Week.

I am married to my best friend and man of my dreams, but part of Jim and I’s marriage testimony is that there was a time when I had everything ELSE on my calendar than time with him. I describe it like we were on two airplanes traveling In the same direction. We were going places, but we weren’t connecting deeply. Part of that was my personal issues with emotions (another post for another day) and part of that was I was too FREAKING busy doing everything else and not spending time with him. Or time we did have was focused on household management, parenting, serving in the church, or group socializing.

If you want to deepen your relationship and strengthen your marriage this year... put it on your Calendar!! Mark out date nights, schedule days to bring flowers or small gifts , put reminders in your phone to text them that you’re thinking of them.... whatever works for you!
❤️
We have lots of little tips and tricks we do daily to keep that spark and connection alive!! And I will be honest, when I decided to reprioritize my marriage, I had to put them on a checklist. That might sound unromantic but now I will tell you I do them without even a thought and the romance is alive and thriving!
❤️
We schedule what we prioritize. How would it feel to be someone’s priority? To have them pouring into your relationship on the regular? Would it matter if they had to write it down or set a reminder?
❤️
I’ll tell you, it feels amazing! I say now that Jim and I are not only in the same plane, but I am sitting on his lap... that is what prioritizing can do.
