Nurturing a Thriving Marriage in a Lukewarm World

The Generous Husband

You can’t talk life goals around people who don’t have the same hunger as you, it’ll just sound like you are bragging. ~ Aubrey Drake

Someone posted that on Quora, and I thought, yes, exactly.

I’ve run into this more than once when Lori and I were discussing our relationship or the growth we wanted in our marriage. We’ve been told we care too much about our marriage, and that we love each other too much! Yes, really.

The reality is, the average temperate of marriages is so low, folks with a normal temperature are accused of having a raging fever.

I’m not suggesting you stop “bragging” about your marriage. Others need the nudge. Just smile when you’re accused of having a fever.

Beyond that, be aware that being surrounded by folks with lower temperature marriages can cause you to slack off. Peer pressure pulls us towards the norm, even when the norm is in the wrong direction. Don’t let others convince you that it’s you who has the problem!
