This week Travis and Stephanie talk through the topic of expectations. Most of us carry a set of expectations into every relationship, whether we intend to or not, and often when those expectations go unmet we experience conflict. Generally our expectations are not right or wrong, but the way we deal with them can have a lot to do with the peace and oneness we experience in marriage, as well as the unity in our other relationships. We take a close look at how to handle expectations and we consider one person in the Bible who did not handle his unmet expectations well. We also issue a challenge this week, to spend some time thinking about the ways that your spouse exceeds your expectations, then tell them! Rather than focusing on what your spouse did or did not do, we have the opportunity to honor God in the midst of our unmet expectations, while also encouraging one another in the things we appreciate about each other!
