There is no such thing as a perfect marriage

No couple arrives at a perfect marriage but every couple can strive for a happy, healthy marriage!

If someone stopped you on the street and pointed a microphone to your chin, how would you answer this question, "What does a happy, healthy marriage look like?"

Our guess is that answers would vary because marriage has many different components that it's hard to concisely define it in one sentence. If we don't have a goal or vision or target to shoot for though, how do we know if we are hitting the mark?

Here are 7 categories to help you discover what areas you are doing well in and what needs work:

1. We communicate often and talk about everything.

2. We know how to repair after we have an argument.

3. We manage the household responsibilities as a team.

4. We are comfortable talking about our sex life with each other.

5. We are growing in our self awareness as individuals.

6. We prioritize spending time together to connect.

7. We know how to make each other feel loved and less stressed.

Research shows that happy, healthy couples are growing in each of these areas and while they are not perfect, they strive to do their best...one Marriage Minute Monday at a time.
