Become A Better Wife By Setting These 5 Wife Goals

Having a healthy, strong, and happy marriage is the goal for most married couples. To that list, I would also add fun. The ultimate question that we must ask ourselves, even before getting married, is “How do we get that type of marriage?”.

In marriage, we quickly discover that it is going to take work. The path to a healthy, strong, and happy marriage is not the same for every couple. However, one thing that every marriage is going to need to get there are marriage goals. You as a wife you are also going to need wife goals.

You probably set goals for so many other areas of your life, such as health, financial, and spiritual goals. So why not also set goals for yourself as a wife. Goals that will help you grow as a wife while also helping to grow, strengthen, and nurture your marriage.

Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come.
Proverbs 31:25 (NKJV)

In order for you to rejoice in the time to come, you have to also prepare for it. Setting goals will help you do that.

While setting my own goals, I discovered there some goals are universal and can help all of us as wives. So here are 5 wife goals you can set today to help you grow as a wife and have a happier marriage.

1) Setting Personal Goals Is Also A Wife Goal

In marriage, it is easy to get so caught up in being a wife and doing all the things needed to care for your husband and help nurture your marriage that you can lose yourself. Then if you add children to the mix, you can end up further and further down the list. Therefore make setting your own personal goals a much-needed wife goal as well.

In order for you to be the best wife you can be, you have to be the best you. No matter how many hats you may wear or titles you may hold, you can only do them successfully if you are at your best. So by setting personal goals that help you to care for yourself and help you grow as a woman, you are also growing as a wife.

2) Reading Books On Marriage Is A Great Goal To Set

Marriage is definitely a journey. There is always something new to learn about yourself, your husband, and your marriage. One of the best ways I have found to learn about different things is through books. Books are a great way for you to gain insight and wisdom from others about so many different topics and marriage is one of them.

I can remember when my husband and I read ‘The 5 Love Languages” for the first time a few years ago. It was one of the most powerful books, not including the Bible, that I have read because it gave me so much insight and practical tips. I discovered not only what our love languages were, but also that I was not loving my husband in the best way for him to truly receive my love. I was also trying to love him how I wanted to be loved.

Since reading that book, I have made it a goal to read different marriage books and I want to encourage you to do the same. Growing as a wife and strengthening your marriage from the comforts of your home is such a blessing. So as you look to setting reading marriage books a goal, make sure to check out my top 5 favorite marriage books here.

3) Connecting With Other Married Women Is A Great Wife Goal To Set

Relationships are so important. Your relationship with God and your husband are two of the most important relationships within your life. However, they should not be your only relationships. Connecting with, being in relationship with, and having friendships with other women is so important. Both for you as a woman, but also for you as a wife.

You can do this in so many ways. You being here at Beyond Committed is an excellent way and make sure to stay connected by joining the BC Community here. Having other married friends and even joining a small group at your church or in your neighborhood. There is just nothing like being surrounded by and encouraged by other like-minded women. So why not make that a wife goal as well?

4) Make Scheduling Dates A Goal

I do not know about you, but if I do not write it down and put it on my calendar it may not get done. Our days are filled with so many to-dos and unexpected events popping up, scheduling things is a must. The same can be said about spending quality time with your husband.

Being spontaneous is great and a must because marriage should not be routine. However, if you want to be intentional and consistent about spending quality time with your husband you are going to have to plan for it.

So take out your goal sheet, if you do not have one I have the perfect one for you here. Then grab your calendar, and start scheduling. The truth is we make time for what is important to us. So by making scheduling dates with your husband a wife goal, you will be intentional about it. Achieving that goal will bless both you and your husband.

5) Making Intimacy A Priority Is A Great Wife Goal

Intimacy is something that over time and with the busyness of life can get lost in so many of our marriages. It is so easy to get caught up in the business of doing life and checking other things off your goal list that connecting intimately with your husband gets pushed down the list. Therefore, making intimacy a priority a wife goal is a great way to keep the spark alive.

Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. She is a loving deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you always. May you always be captivated by her love.
Proverbs 5:18-19 (NLT)

The fun thing about this goal is that the options for how you achieve this is endless. It can be something as simple as snuggling on the couch, holding hands when out, or buying a sexy outfit from time to time to surprise your husband. Keeping the spark and intimacy alive in your marriage does not have to be hard. However it is going to take work, and setting it as a goal can definitely help.

The possibilities and growth for you and your marriage are endless. So why not start with setting new wife goals today to help you see those possibilities and growth come to life. Whether that is setting some personal goals, reading a marriage book, connecting with other wives, scheduling dates, or increasing the intimacy with your husband. Just like your marriage, make your goals your own.
