The engagement period is a time of excitement, anticipation, and planning, but it’s also an opportunity to set clear relationship goals that will guide you both as you transition into married life. Setting relationship goals during your engagement ensures that both partners are aligned on their vision for the future and helps to strengthen the foundation of your relationship. These goals can range from emotional and personal growth to practical matters like finances and long-term dreams.
Start by having open and honest conversations about what both of you want in your marriage. Consider areas like communication, quality time, financial management, and how you plan to approach future challenges together. These goals should be realistic and achievable, but also meaningful. For instance, you might set goals around learning better communication skills, prioritizing self-care and mutual respect, or planning regular date nights to keep the romance alive. Establishing these goals early in the engagement period can help both partners feel more secure and excited about their future together. Remember, the goal isn’t just to get through the wedding day, but to ensure that your relationship thrives long after you say “I do.”
