We all bring individual talents, abilities, and ambitions into marriage. On today’s episode, we share four ways to encourage and support your spouse in pursuing and accomplishing their personal aspirations and goals.

4 PRACTICAL WAYS TO ENCOURAGE YOUR SPOUSE'S ASPIRATIONS AND GOALS

1. Ask your spouse what their aspirations and goals are and what tools or resources they may need to achieve them.
2. Help your spouse make the time to pursue and accomplish their aspirations and goals.
3. Encourage your spouse to take risks and step out of their comfort zone and support them in practical ways when they do.
4. Celebrate your spouse’s milestones both big and small.

TAKE THE “US TIME” CHALLENGE

Think of one personal goal or aspiration you have for 2025. Share it with your spouse and give them ideas on how they can encourage and support you. Then, ask them what they aspire to and ask how you can encourage and support them.
