You’ll have sex all the time, cuddle on Saturday mornings, and travel the world together. But have you thought about how you’ll share a closet? What about merging and managing your finances? And how will you seek God together?\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n You and your future spouse have a lot of expectations of what marriage should look like. But what happens when your expectations are different? Nothing can kill your honeymoon high like unmet expectations, which are one of the biggest sources of conflict in marriage. But that doesn’t have to be your story.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n In this devotional, you’ll learn how to identify and communicate your expectations of marriage in several areas, including: How to talk about sex in marriage (including what you like—and don’t like—in the bedroom) How to merge and manage your finances (and whether you should have joint accounts) What seeking God together looks like (and how to represent the love of Jesus through your marriage) How to manage and clean a home together (and how to deal when your spouse does things around the house that annoy you) How to resolve and work through conflict when you disagree (and how to navigate your first fight as husband and wife) What intimacy looks like in your marriage (including how to establish emotional intimacy)\u003cbr\u003e\n This devotional is perfect for engaged or newlywed couples to read through together. Each devotion includes scriptures, a prayer, and discussion questions to help couples communicate their expectations in ten key areas of marriage.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Your first year of marriage doesn’t have to be the hardest. From faith, finances, to family planning, these devotions will help you apply God’s Word as you learn to navigate life as a married couple.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \"As a marriage coach, I see so many couples question the relationship because they don't know how to handle expectations.
