Family Goals
The main goal in this area of my life is _________________
In order to reach this goal, I am setting the following objectives:
Year 1, _________________
Year 5, ________________
Year 10, _______________
Year 25, _______________
Year 50 , _____________
The Scripture says, "So a man will leave his father and mother and be
united with his wife, and the two will become one body." That secret is
very important--I am talking about Christ and the church. But each one
of you must love his wife as he loves himself, and a wife must respect
her husband. Children, obey your parents as the Lord wants, because this
is the right thing to do. The command says, "Honor your father and
mother." This is the first command that has a promise with it-- "Then
everything will be well with you, and you will have a long life on the
earth." Fathers, do not make your children angry, but raise them with
the training and teaching of the Lord.
(Ephesians 5:31-6:4)
Four Questions
1. Write 12-15 reasons why you want to marry this person?
2. What are you bringing to this marriage that will make it work?
3. What roles and responsibilities will you have in this marriage, and
what roles will you fiancé have?
4. What will you get out of this marriage that you wouldn’t have gotten
if you had remained single?
