I've got a question for you. when is the best time to work on your marriage? I will tell you when the worst time is, it's when its in really bad shape. Tensions are high, emotions are too and this is when your marriage is most vulnerable.
The best time to work on your marriage is when it is healthy, maybe even the healthiest. You and your spouse can take a little "speaking the truth in love to one another" better, you are feeling good about where your marriage is and have perspective on how you got there. Just as regular maintenance on your vehicle keeps your vehicle running effeciently and well, and just like regular dental check ups and medical check ups do the same, it's true for your marriage.
Here are some things you might consider for a Marriage Check up;
What are the 3 best things you love about your marriage right now?
What are 3 things you love and appreciate about your spouse right now?
How are we doing at making deposits to one another? (using the 5 love languages is a good place to start).
What 1-3 things would I like to see improve in me and is us that would make a difference?
How much fun are we experiencing these days? Why/Why not? What can we do to improve?
Is there a couple we could invest in around us right now?
Is there a couple we would love to spend time with who can invest in our marriage?
In the key areas of marriage rate where we are and based on this, choose one to work on for a month at a time.
