Dreaming together and making plans to make lives better is one of the most exciting things couples can do to make their marriage work. Normally people make goals and plan things before marriage. But after getting into a relationship, as people are different, they stop dreaming. They only focus on doing the necessary things to pay the bills and take care of the family. As a result, there is no excitement and spark in the relationship. When there is no planning of the future, people become stagnant and don’t grow. Due to this, they live a boring and stressful life.
To make life more thrilling and exhilarating following are the things a couple can do together:
1-Have Discussion about your dreams
Couples that communicate their dreams with each other can know each other in a much better way. By sharing the things which make them tick will help the partner to know what excites them. Couples can also know about the fears of their partner. By knowing about the fears of their partner, they can encourage each other when they get stuck in a fearful pattern. Communicating about the dreams will not only help partners know each other but it will help them to encourage them to overcome paralyzing fears also.
2- Set personal development goals
Setting goals and making plans is not enough. One has to upgrade oneself to achieve that goal. One can develop personally only when they challenge each other to become better. To do that, couples must read books and attend personal development seminars together. Only when they can have new knowledge, they can practice new skills and achieve their goals. They can make this work exciting by making plans together for doing shopping for books, they can see the reviews online and can also do the counseling sessions. As it is famously said “To get more, you have to become more”.
3- Accountability Partner
No one can achieve goals and remains on track until they have an accountability system. The issue with personal development goals is that there can’t be any outside agency that can hold us accountable. As a result, one can easily slack off and can’t achieve the required goal. The only suitable way to achieve the goal is to make your partner your accountability buddy. A spouse can easily point out when the other person is derailing from the track. When partners can hold their partner accountable, there is a strong chance of staying on track and achieving of the desired goal.
4- Rewarding yourself
The purpose of setting goals and making oneself better is to live a happy life. Sometimes people keep on setting new goals after achieving previous goals. They don’t take time to stop and appreciate what they have done. One of the most fulfilling things any person or couple can do is when they achieve the goal, they reward themselves with some expensive gift or anything rewarding. They can buy their favorite clothes, throw a big party, go for a movie, go for a fancy dinner, etc. Whatever the case may be if one keeps rewarding himself and the partner, life can be enjoyed and they can remain excited.
