What Are The 3 Things That Might Threaten Your Marriage? #018

Welcome to the Your Marriage Matters podcast with Jim & Christie Jacobus! Except it is Jim flying solo this week because Christie is sick and while her raspy voice is sexy as heck around the house we don’t think it will sound very good on the podcast! 

Our Conversation of the Week for this episode is– What do you think are the three biggest threats to the two of you having an extraordinary marriage? And why? What can you do now to keep the threats from becoming a reality?

• What a great conversation this one is! We love it because;
• It is part of a SWOT analysis!
• It will cause us to think about and become aware of the things each of us think might be a threat to our marriage down the road.
• ·         We can create some plans to be proactive about how to prevent the threat from becoming a reality!
• ·      It gives us an opportunity to give a voice to some of the fears we might have going into marriage!

Some of the most common threats we see that you might check in on would be;

 

• ·      Inability to effectively communicate
• ·      Inability to effectively resolve conflict
• ·      A poor picture from the start of what a healthy marriage looks like
• ·      Immaturity
• ·      Coming into the marriage with past wounds and hurts that haven’t been resolved

So, take about 30 minutes this week gang and individually list out the three threats you feel might threaten your having a vibrant, healthy marriage that will last a lifetime!
