5 Reasons Your Marriage Is Ending Your Dreams

While marriage can be exciting and happy, it can be filled with disappointments and broken dreams.

Would you agree?

Below are 5 reasons why we tend to think that marriage is killing our dreams. When you finish reading this article, you will discover that it is not so much about marriage. But it is the way you perceive how marriage affects your dreams.

1) You are losing God’s perspective on your dreams. God has a plan for you, but it is important that you know His plan for your life. I encourage you to take a quiet moment to discover why He created you and what His plan is.

2) You do not believe that your spouse supports your dreams because they are not as motivated by them as you are.

When we share our dreams with our husbands, we want them to get excited, put on a cheerleader outfit, and yell, “Go, wife!” while doing three back flips.

But what if your husband doesn’t show as much enthusiasm for his dream?

What if he just says it’s okay and sees you chasing your dream? That would be fine?

3) You are not balancing your time correctly.

What do you do with your time on a daily basis? Watch TV, view photos and videos on Facebook, gossip on the phone with your friends? Most of these things are dream killers because they often eat up your time. Decide on a few things that you can eliminate from your day and use that time to work on your dream.

4) Fear and Insecurity – These are common dream killers because they paralyze you from the productive things you should be doing to achieve your dream.

There are many fears / insecurities.

Some include the fear of:

• Making mistakes

• Past failures

• What will others think of you

• Change

• Fear of not being good enough

Ask yourself: “What fears hold me back from my dreams?” Don’t let your fears and insecurities keep you from fulfilling your dreams. Step forward by faith and do what you can to make them come true.

5) You don’t have a strategy to pursue your dream. You may have a dream, but you don’t know what first step to take.

For me, it was writing a book. I have been writing for years, but there have been some areas for improvement. I also struggled with fears and insecurities, and needed a strong support system to help me write my book and share my message with others correctly.

I recently attended a book writing conference and connected with many people who dream of writing and sharing their message with others. In fact, they understand my plight and are willing to help me achieve my dream.

This conference gave me the support I needed and the tools to create a system and take the next steps to share my message by writing about marriage to others.

If you think marriage is ending your dreams, think again. I encourage you to:

1. Get God’s perspective on your dreams

2. Appreciate the support your spouse gives you even if it isn’t in the way you think it should.

3. Eliminate any dream killers and replace them by chasing your dream.

4. Overcome your fears and insecurities.

5. Connect with people or organizations that can help you create and implement. a strategy to take the next steps towards your dream.
