Many couples are not on the same page most of the time. They simply default to the mode of men being from Mars and women being from Venus. By assuming they speak different languages and see things differently, many couples are not even trying to find common ground.
Getting on the same page with your spouse requires deliberate effort. It’s not by luck or chance, it’s a goal you can work towards and achieve. Remember, this is the same way the farm works, weeds get planted by nature, and good things only get planted by being deliberate.
The impact of being on the same page with your wife is huge! You can achieve much more together – synergy and the children are better for it. Look at it this way, your children, business, or whatever you have the potential to do together loses 80% of its stored capacity from not being on the same page.
What exactly do couples need to be deliberate about to make them easily on the same page? There are a few simple things.
- Watch the same movies. There is a tendency to want to continue as you have been doing, try to bend, both of you. The more you watch the same things, the better for your relationship.
- Communicate your alignment or misalignment often and privately. Don’t wait till you find what you don’t like to communicate, communicate about the things you do like, and the things you don’t. Don’t do it publicly, hammer it out privately.
- Push each other to develop. Ensure that you are not lopsided as far as knowledge is concerned. One spouse may be ahead at the start, but each has different capacities at different locations in the journey. Don’t sabotage your relationship by making development one-sided, you’ll be cheating each other in the long term.
- Have regular meeting rituals. It’s small, but it’s big!
I hope this helps someone out there.
