Balance seems to be defined as equal or an even distribution of weight. Now that weight can be all the responsibilities in life.

So your balance in marriage may look very different from another couple’s balance because it’s specific to your needs, wants, and desires. It’s your lifestyle within your marriage.

However, a lot of couples assume that balance is a 50-50 share. And maybe you’re in the same position. Yet, 50-50 is more for divorce. Marriage is all about 100-100.

Marriage is not about dividing up equally. Marriage is serving and loving one another. It’s not so much a focus on “I do 60 percent, you do 40 percent. And then we switch it up the next day.” This is about giving to each other 100 percent within the responsibilities accepted by each individual.

So how do you balance your marriage? The numbers don’t add up!

The K.I.S.S. ~ Get on the same page!

This is simply setting some ground rules for your marriage in which you can make decisions and create your now, the lifestyle you want.

This is the foundation. This is the beginning, not the only.

So you got to get on the same page as to where you want your marriage to go.

1. Respect your spouse. – Without respect, you’re going nowhere fast! You will be digging holes and backtracking always. Respect comes in all shapes and sizes. However, the way I see it – You need to see your partner as a person created in the image of God.
2. Communicate with your spouse. – Assumptions get you nowhere and they get you into trouble. Communication is not just the words you use. It also includes how you listen, how you respond, the tone of your voice, the look on your face, verbal and non-verbal cues. One thing you can is to always get to know your spouse. Ask at least one question a week regarding something your spouse is interested in.
3. Set boundaries within your marriage. – Think of these as not just your DON’Ts, but also your DO’s. Just like with communication, don’t make assumptions, because assumptions will kill your marriage.

Instead of dwelling on the term balance, search for harmony. Reach for what serves each other. Love unconditionally with no strings attached.

This is the beginning of a strong foundation in your marriage. This is a blend of two people who become one with each other.

Look where you can bring more harmony in your marriage today.
