Don't Stop Being Intentional (Sometimes it's The Simple Stuff)
On this episode of Intentional Marriage, co-hosts and married couple – Justin and Cresta Burt – discuss the what, why, and how of the intentional marriage.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Marriage doesn’t happen by accident. You intentionally put a ring on that finger, you intentionally say “I do”, so you should intentionally do everything else. You should go out of your way for the other person, on purpose. It’s not an accident that I love you, it happens for a reason.
- I’ve (Cresta) always been interested in escape rooms. Justin surprised me for one of our date nights with my first ever escape room and the last clue led to the key to get out of the room, but in the cupboard where the key was Justin had got them to put an engagement ring in there and that’s how he proposed!
- We spend as much time together as we can. Justin works out of town currently, so he’s gone during the week from Monday mid-morning. Sometimes he intentionally tries to get a night back at home during the week if he can even though it means another six hours on the road. But you always turn up to my work to say goodbye.
- We’ve been lucky, we’ve had a very positive relationship – the whole thing. For a lot of couples it’s probably not healthy to talk about the past, but for us everything’s been so positive that for us it’s OK to talk about the past, and we do it a lot. You just have to do it the right way, you’ve got to understand where your spouse is coming from and what they’ve been through and an understanding of what they’re bringing to the relationship, good, bad and ugly.
BEST MOMENTS
‘An intentional marriage is about being intentional in all that you do. If you lose you intent there’s a chance you could lose your marriage.’
‘One of my (Justin) favourite things we intentionally do is Friday night date nights, even if we stay in.’
‘We always communicating while we’re apart, talking about our future plans, the struggles we’re having, and really just being there for one another.’
‘Being intentional is making an active choice each and every day that these are the things that Cresta needs. Sometimes it’s simple stuff and sometimes I don’t have the answers and we’ve gotta go look for it.’
