Day 24: Make Her Dreams Come True

When I talk about the three roles of marriage, people love to hear about friendship and intimacy, but they often wrinkle their nose at the idea of partnership. It sounds so business-like and mechanical. Yet it is the role of partners that have been the most surprising source of joy in our marriage. Partnership is about the details of life--making money, paying bills, running a house, raising children, etc. But it's also about more. In Friends, Partners, and Lovers, I write, "Wake up every day and consider how to make his/her dreams come true." (pg. 138) This is the role of a partner.Imagine what it would be like to know someone is just as passionate as you about making your dreams come true. This is what a good marriage is like. Cheer for one another. Challenge one another. Make each other's dreams come true.   Application: Plan a date night. During dinner discuss what your dreams are and make one concrete step toward one dream. For more, see:Stop Spending Your Spouse's Dreams3 Conversations Every Couple Should Have
