How to Turn Expectations into Agreements in Your Marriage

In marriage, assumptions are dangerous—not because they’re always wrong, but because they’re almost always unspoken.

You might expect your spouse to help with the kids after work.
They might assume you’ve got it handled.
You might expect regular check-ins or date nights.
They might think everything’s fine because you haven’t said otherwise.

It’s not that your expectations are unreasonable…
It’s that without communication, there’s no agreement—and without agreement, resentment grows.

Misalignment doesn’t mean your marriage is broken.
It just means it’s time to get intentional.

🪑 Sit down.
🗣 Get honest.
📝 Make a plan—together.

When you move from hinting to speaking, from assuming to aligning,
you trade tension for teamwork.
And here’s the truth most couples miss: clarity is a love language.

It says, “I care enough to be clear.”
It honors your spouse, your needs, and the relationship God entrusted to you.
