A post by The Beautiful Wife™
As I watched the Olympics for the past couple of weeks, I realized that there is a lot I can learn about my marriage from the Winter Games.
Winning Gold in Marriage
If you want to win “Gold”, you have to work hard at your sport every day. No matter the sport, athletes spend hours a week working to improve their skill… asking themselves how can they make a faster time, a higher jump or a quadruple spin to get the highest score. It is amazing to see their dedication to their sport.
Settling for Less than Bronze
A lot of people wait until something is wrong to start working at their marriage.
Unfortunately, I think most of us are so busy that we can’t imagine how to spend a couple hours a month more less a week or day working at our sport.. our marriage.
How different would our marriages look if we worked like the athletes in the Olympics?
Making Marriage A Gold Medal Performance
What if we strive for a gold every day in our marriage?
How do the athletes do it?
It’s all about setting their goals and challenging themselves to achieve it.
I want to be a star athlete when it comes to my marriage. I want to be able to celebrate all our hard work on our 10, 25, and 50 year anniversaries… that would be worth more than a gold medal to me!
How about you?
