Make sure that you and your spouse have individual as well as common goals. Just as you personally can feel lost without knowing what your purpose is or having something worthwhile to pursue in life, so can your relationship suffer without goals to strive toward. Name your goals for how much money you’d like to retire with and vacations you’d like to take together, for example. In making these goals, your imagination is the limit!

Thank you Tina some excellent, tried and true advice.
Very true, you have to have goals in everything and marriage is no different.
Thanks for sharing your great tips on having a successful marriage. I love to get advice from people who have great marriages themselves.
Great little post here thanks Tina!
I totally agree and find that this is true in my own marriage. Follow this advice!
This is true. For a while, I found I was in a rut in my marriage because we just didn’t have anything to work toward. Then we decided to design and build a new home–what a project! We’re not done yet, but we’re very happy working on it together.
My new goal: to make goals for our marriage:)
Yes you’re absolutely
Yes I agree that goals are important in every aspect of your life, not just marriage. good article, thank you.
Thanks Tina! I know you have been with your husband for so long and raised such beautiful children. If I’m going to take anyone’s advice about marriage and family, it’ll be YOURS!
I agree we should all take our marriage advice from people who have demonstrated they know how to have a successful marriage, not from your unhappily married friends, divorced siblings, etc. It’s so funny how people just tell you exactly what you need to do when they have no basis at all in experience or expertise in telling you that.
