When we hear that a couple has an inspired marriage, words that come to mind are steadfast, resilient, stimulating, and motivating. Individuals in inspired marriages are generally steadfast and resilient folks who can motivate and stimulate not only themselves but their spouses as well.

How to Have an Inspired Marriage

According to Russell Bishop, three keys to having an inspired life are:
  • Listen: Listen to what you say to yourself and to others.
  • Awareness: Notice what you are experiencing.
  • Intention and Focus: Know where to start and stay focused.

These three keys, listening, being aware, and staying focused, could also lead a couple to having an inspired marriage.

Why Should You Want an Inspired Marriage?

Having purpose and meaning to your individual lives is important to most people. Having purpose and meaning in your marriage can help remind you both of who you are and what you care deeply about. This awareness would give your marriage a solid foundation on which to make plans and make goals together.
