Unrealistic expectations are killer. Thank you for underlining the fact that God’s ways are higher and wiser than the ways of our culture, for He is our designer and heavenly Father. It is His good pleasure to guide us in the ways that are best!

Hi Dan, thanks for sharing! I am encouraged to know that you are appreciating the rich fullness of friendship with your wife. God will continue to bless you abundantly as you invest yourselves in this most sacred of relationships!

One book I have found very helpful on this topic is Love and Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs by Emerson Eggerichs.

You are so right about friendship being the bedrock. Any insights on what is causing your friendship to grow in the context of marriage? What are you doing that is growing your friendship?

At less than a year into marriage I’ve realized that deep friendship is the bedrock in our relationship. Much more full and lasting than the typical ideal romance that society tells us to look for.
