Last week, I read a post, by Carrien, about marriage. And then, on Sunday, our pastor talked about the same thing. Both of them addressed the importance of setting realistic expectations. Coincidence? Sure. But, still, happiness in marriage has been on my mind.
Now, the idea that we need to have realistic expectations isn’t exactly news to me. I’ve been married for almost 17 years: I know a bit about expectations and meeting, or completely failing to meet, them. Also, I’ve written about expectations before because I’ve long believed that our experience with any given situation is directly related to the expectations we set beforehand. Why should marriage be any different?
