Summary
Before you click away from seeing the overused word "goals", remember goals are the things you want to achieve in your life and marriage. So they are important, even though this conversation has been talked about so much. But there is a MISSING PIECE to all of this which is identifying your standards!
This is a conversion that we are even going through ourselves as we redefine what we want our next season of life and marriage to be. Goals don't always get achieved BUT they never will if you don't realize this key piece about your acceptable standards. This is all a part of being able to live your dream life as well. So make sure you tune into this one. The key terms here also come from the book we have been reading, The Power of One More, by Ed Mylett. That link is below again as well!
