9 Innings

Spring training season started. In thinking about this I have been reflecting on nine ‘in’ things (in..ings) that would help marriages to ‘knock it out of the park’ when it comes to relational enjoyment.

  1. Inform you partner constantly with timely and accurate communication.

  2. Invest three things; energy, time and resources to make the relationship all it can be.

  3. Increase the amount of fun you have together.

  4. Inspire each other to be the best you can be and to have the best marriage possible.

  5. Install boundaries that protect your relationship.

  6. Inquire of others when you are having difficulty (friends, pastor,counselor)

  7. Initiate times of intimacy and don’t wait for your partner.

  8. Indulge in things that you enjoy together.

  9. Influence others by letting your marriage be an example to follow

    Questions to Ponder: Of the things listed above what am I best at? What do I need to work at? O by the way God is a fan of baseball (See below)
