Have you ever thought about what your marriage will look like in 50 years? Will it be a great marriage? Maybe you are thinking, "Amber, I can't even think past this week!" 

Oh trust me, I know the feeling. But you know what has really helped? A mission statement. With a mission statement I can look up from the busyness and craziness of my day and say, "Yes! That's where I am going! Yes! I have a plan and I know I'll get there!" 

So go grab that second cup of coffee and get ready to dive into the power of mission statements.

I'll never forget when a priest friend of mine told me that marriages that consist of two people with similar personalities have better marriages than those who have different personalities, I thought my world was ending.

You see, my husband Cel and I are opposites. We have opposite personalities.

Did this priest's words mean my marriage would be a life-time of fighting?

Thankfully, nope; not at all.

Every marriage, no matter how similar the couple may be, has differences.

In this week's podcast I chat about how your spouse's personality might rub you the wrong way sometimes; but if you work together and embrace your differences, you will create a synergy that is unmatched and a very happy home.

Here is a sneak peek at what you'll learn from this episode:

#1. The Glory of God is man fully alive! We are made to be saints.

#2. Every person in a marriage needs to be rooted in prayer and the pursuit of virtue

#3. Personality tests can give you and your spouse a language to talk about differences and how to apply them to your marriage.

Learning together as a couple is something you'll never stop doing! I know when I first got married I would have loved for someone to send me a list of all the books to read. I didn't know what I was doing and wanted all the help I could get. 

To help you out, I’m sharing 5 ways learning together can charge up your marriage. Whether you've been learning together for a long time or you're wanting to get started, you'll find these tips doable and effective.

#1: I share the way that learning together can help you dream bigger than you ever thought was possible.

#2: Learning together helps you create a family mission and stay on the same mission.

#3: When we learn, we understand new things about ourselves.

#4: Learning opens our mind to new ideas. Those ideas can be great topics for conversation with our spouse.

#5: Learning renews our minds. When we learn true and good things it helps us to know more about God.
