How To Choose a Spouse Wisely!

Hello Christian Friend,

What qualities do you possess, and if you marry one day, do you want your future spouse to possess? Have you written down those positive attributes that you desire in a potential future spouse? What deal breakers or red flags should send you running in the opposite direction? Have you put those red flags on paper for an accurate picture of what to avoid?

The statement that “both spouses contribute to marital heartache and unhappiness” is a total myth! Instead, please remember “it takes 2 to make it and 1 to break it” which means 2 healthy spouses create marital satisfaction, but it only takes one unhealthy spouse to produce a broken, unhappy relationship. 

Shown below is a link to my YouTube video, How To Choose a Spouse Wisely! Sadly, 99% of individuals don’t have the knowledge that I will share with you in this video but now you will be part of the 1% with the knowledge to choose a spouse wisely.

In this video, I explain the 3 absolutely essential assessment activities for Choosing a Spouse Wisely! The 3 important written activities are:

1. Write down at least 15 positive qualities you desire in a future spouse.

2. Write down a minimum of 5 red flags or deal breakers that you must avoid in a future spouse.

3. Make a written list of your Top 10 Expectations for a consistently satisfying marriage.

Through these 3 assessment activities, you can, and you will Choose a Spouse Wisely!

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, pastor, and former seminary professor of pastoral counseling for nearly 25 years at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. I taught Premarital Counseling, Marriage Counseling, Family Counseling, Crisis Counseling, Ministry to the Sick & Dying, and more.

For over four decades, I have spoken to and counseled thousands of individuals, spouses, and parents about the simple, yet very effective habits, that are essential for a fulfilling life and rewarding relationships.
