Core Values in Marriage

Do you have a set of principles that your marriage follows?

On vacation I forced Matt to sit down with me and go through the things that are important in our marriage. That conversation went as well as I expected. My Forever rolled his eyes and looked for any excuse to get out of the conversation. He isn’t a planner.

Before releasing him to go watch the 98th hour of TV on vacation, we discussed and decided on 5 core values that our marriage is all about.

  • Trust
  • Faithfullness
  • Date Nights
  • Growth
  • Work Ethic

Not necessarily in that order, but those five principles are what our marriage hinges on. That means that because we value these traits, we have to work on them. The things you spend your time on are the things that you value.

There are so many other things that are important to us, but when it’s boiled down, these 5 things are the values we want the most.

What are yours? Do you have a list?
