Growing with God I.C.F.C.

“Growing Spiritually as a Couple Requires the Release of Unrealistic Expectations of our Spouse”

Realize that your spouse has characteristics that may meet your expectations and others that you may find frustrating

Being realistic and accepting the entire package

Setting healthy boundaries

Moving from infatuation and idealism to reality

Overcoming unspoken expectations and undetected flaws

What are the dangers of trying to remake our spouses?

Philippians 4:19

Only God can meet all of your needs so why do we try to put so much pressure on our spouse?

Is every perceived need an actual need in our lives?  Give examples.

Is your spouse God’s primary instrument for making you a better person?

Are you making impossible demands on the spouse that God called you to serve?

Release unrealistic expectations of your spouse and accept that your spouse is as imperfect as you are
