So. What’s in your marriage?
(Not wallet – marriage. 😉 )
Grover asks Jessie what marriage is all about – what people do and share in their marriage.
Sometimes it’s easy words like – kiss, hug, help. Those are great words. Valuable actions. Necessary experiences in marriage.
Now – take it one step further, and think about values – what values differentiate you and the one-you-love from other couples? Not every person is the same. Couples also share this uniqueness.
If you were to use 3 words to sum-up what you share in your marriage – the good stuff – what words would you use?
Robert and I talk a lot about differentiating values. In our marriage and life, we’ve decided there are 3 differentiating values that both define and drive us:
- Loyalty
- Optimism
- Discovery
What about you?
What values ‘sing’ in your heart – which values are must-haves?
Thanks to you and Grover for sharing. I’ll be talking to Bob about the 3 values.
I still love Sesame Street! (especially the adult humor threaded through the show) Their writers are experts at distilling complex ideas into thought bites.
About values – Robert is working on a theory about differentiating values in business – how it provides a competitive advantage. He’s got over 300 values defined and cross-referenced etc,. I want to put them into a free pdf document to share because I think understanding what values you share in common with your spouse is a real advantage in navigating life. One of my (many) tasks this summer is to work on that pdf. I think I may have to extend my ‘summer’ into December – lol.
