Showing Up For Your Spouse

On this episode of Intentional Marriage, co-hosts and married couple – Justin and Cresta Burt – give a brief health update of Cresta before talking about the main topic of this episode which is very much linked to the health update and what Cresta and Justin are going through right now.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You have to be intentional. How easy would it be to neglect things by just coming home from work or from the hospital and going straight to bed because we’re tired? We neglect a lot of things – like the dishes or the vacuuming – but not each other or our marriage. Are we eating out more than we should right now or neglecting some things around us right now? Absolutely. But, as far as we and our relationship goes, we’re having to make sure that those things are staying intact, and while it doesn’t look the same as it did 6 months ago, the core is still there.
• It’s all about making the time to just be together and taking the little opportunities with your family, with your kids and make the most of them because you don’t know what life holds. As much as we want it, we’re not guaranteed tomorrow, we’re not guaranteed the next minutes so you’ve really got to take every opportunity and moment you have an just enjoy it.
• How have you been showing up in your marriage? Husbands, I’m specifically talking to you. If you do the things you know you’re supposed to do in your marriage to take care of your wife and be the leader you’re supposed to be in the marriage your marriage is going to go a lot better because, correct me if I’m wrong, your wife (most wives) is looking for a leader. She’s not looking for somebody who is desperate for her attention, or is needy and is lost like a puppy-dog without it. I want to be wanted not needed.
• Showing up takes work, effort, energy and thought initially to constantly show up. But after a while, like everything else, it becomes routine (but still intentional), and after a while it’s part of who you are and becomes naturally ingrained in you. Once it’s who you are you can do it with ease and it’s not work any more.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘I don’t know if it’s the courage Cresta has, or the digging down deep to find it, but there’s something about it that makes her that much more attractive.’
‘Your last excuse was yesterday. Stop making excuses.’
‘I’m tired of being a strong, independent women – I didn’t that for too long before you – I’m sick of picking what I want for dinner.’
‘Part of the joy of marriage are the little differences between us and having fun with it.’
