It sounds like a no brainer to be selfless or to put your spouse first, but it may not come natural to you, especially when putting our spouse first may require us to step away from something we want. Today we discuss 10 ways to be selfless in your marriage while fighting the negative influences around us.
10 ways to be selfless in your marriage
- Being what your partner needs vs. looking for your needs to be met
- Helping your spouse accomplish their dreams - perhaps by sacrificing yours
- Respecting one another’s time – just because you’re on different schedules doesn’t mean their time isn’t just as valuable
- Thinking first about how your actions affect the other
- Taking a chore off the other’s plate – especially the one they don’t really care to do
- Be sensitive to the things that could be an emotional trigger for them
- Intentionally stepping away from what interests you to plug into what your partner enjoys/is interested in
- Proactively setting up an activity that your partner enjoys doing
- Ensuring that your marriage comes before the kids.
- Focus on being the perfect match for your spouse instead of focusing on your spouse meeting your needs
