Unmet expectations...

I definitely agree with what Dave Willis has shared here below regarding expectations in marriage....

"One of the most significant sources of stress in marriage is tied to expectations. When expectations are unclear, unhealthy, unspoken or unmet, one or both spouses can start to feel neglected, inadequate and/or frustrated with the marriage. I’m convinced many (if not most) divorces come back to expectations. 

When a man and woman first start out together in marriage, both of them are carrying unspoken expectations. They each have a vision of what the home life will be. They have separate ideas of what their sex life will be. They have different dreams for what their future family will be. They also have different expectations for what the each of their responsibilities should be."

Dave goes on in this post to address specifically what husbands need, want and expect from their wives. (in no particular order)  I'd like to address each of these needs/expectations in separate blog posts. Stay tuned!

1) Companionship
2) Respect
3) Sex
4) Domestic support
5) Commitment

Expectations are only valid when they are mutually agreed upon. #ehs
