Hey welcome to the married life!
Step 1: Research and hire the building team
One of the most important decisions in building the home of your dreams is choosing the right team for what you want to build.
If you want a strong healthy marriage, you need to surround yourself with a good support system. Since the 5 people (or marriages) you surround yourself with are who you will be in the future, who are the friends that you are going to hang around? Will you see a counselor regularly? Who are you going to talk to when you need to? Are you going to get plugged into a church and a small group? Talk about these things now. List names and frequencies.
Step 2. Clear the property, level the site, and prepare the foundation
Before you build a house, the land that you purchase must first be cleared and removed of any debris, vegetation, trees, bush and rocks.
In your marriage, forgiveness and the things from the past need to be cleared out and up rooted before you can build a vision and future. Use this time right now to humble yourself, ask for forgiveness and really talk about the issues that are holding you back from moving forward in your marriage. Allow your spouse to share anything that has caused them to have unforgiveness in their hearts too. Create a safe place where you can share your thoughts and feelings.
Step 3. Pour the Foundation
Your home will have either a slab foundation, a crawlspace, or a full basement poured or constructed. The concrete will also go through a curing process to reach maximum strength.
You will need to decide what the foundation of your home is. What will the basic foundation of your marriage be when everything you thought you had control over, falls apart, what are you going to lean on when you feel like life is crushing you, or if everything is stripped away from you, what do you want to have left? Our life is not set in stone, and we do not have control over our lives. So what is the foundation in your marriage?
For us, it’s scripture and prayer. We believe the whole Bible in its entirety. We have certain scripture that we hold on to when life gets hard, jobs are uncertain or our children are not looking like the fruit of the seed we planted. If you are a bible believing Christian, we believe that this is something that should be essential in your marriage.
