What is a Happy Marriage?


Listen Later

"What is a happy marriage?" is not the only question you should ask.

Is your goal to have a happy marriage?

Today we're going to address the age-old question of "What makes a happy marriage?" by exploring the deeper truth of marriage:

  • You'll hear why this might actually be the wrong question to ask
  • I'll introduce you to a book and a podcast that examine this subject from a different point of view
  • I'll offer you a discussion and a habit so that you can deepen your relationship by asking a different question

Habit for Your Happily Ever After

This week’s habit for your happily ever after is to ask a different question about your marriage.

Instead of asking the same old question, “What makes our marriage happy?” You could ask, "What is comforting in our relationship?" or "What do I learn about love from our relationship?" or "How does this relationship support my personal growth?"

Date Night Discussion

This week I invite you to talk with your partner about the enormous variety of questions you could ask yourself about your relationship.

When you learn how to ask a wide variety of questions about your marriage, your marriage will expand to meet your curiosity.

So discuss among yourselves. What else do you want in addition to a happy marriage?
