We all know people who write things down and just don’t do them. I don’t want you to be one of those spouses. Any area of life you want to accelerate in will always have a person or people you’ll be accountable to. This person is always the same gender. Often this person has genuine affection for you, and depending on the area of life, they might have more expertise in the area than you currently do.
Who could this person be that you could be honest with about your journey to follow through with your lover goals? They don’t need to know the specific behaviors but maybe the percentage you’ve accomplished. You can meet, call or text this person weekly to report the status or your shortcomings the previous week.
Accountability with someone of the same gender raises the bar. Now you’ve taken becoming an intenional spouse to a whole other level because you’re not only being respectful toward your spouse but finding someone with whom you can bounce ideas off of. As you talk over your situation and ideas with this person, you’re much more likely to actually becoming an intenional spouse.
