If you are like me, you love to write out “To-Do-Lists” usually of things that need to get done that day, or week, or month! Clean the laundry, backup photos, call my friend, pay a bill, etc. My problem with the To-Do-List is that I spend more time creating it, then actually committing to doing the things I hope to accomplish. I find these lists randomly laying around in different places of my chaotic life; stuffed among other piles of paperwork, folded in pants pockets, laying in the corner of the room, or floating through the car when the windows come down.

Very rarely do I ever discover a To-Do-List that has been completed. Even if it is close to being done, I usually add to the never-ending tasks that need my attention. Unfortunately, I approach my marriage this way as well. Most of the time the Marriage To-Do-List is in my head, and as much as I intend to fulfill each task that I know will bless me with a better marriage, I quickly fold it up and store it away for when I have more time to focus on it, which often times gets forgotten about. I am realizing that the existence of a To-Do-List is not a special way of getting things done, but rather my commitment and intentionality to complete the list is what is productive! My marriage is very important to me. It is time I write out the mental “Marriage To-Do-List” and commit to following through on the very things I believe will bless my marriage! Feel free to use this list yourself as a way to better your marriage!
