EP 13. Plans, Dreams, Goals, Purpose, - Tips for Your Marriage Journey

Welcome to the Married and Love it podcast.

We are Greg and Linda Smith, your host from Raleigh, North Carolina.

It is great that you are taking time to invest into your marriage by listening to our weekly podcast.

The goal of our podcast is to provide you with a weekly dose of marriage teaching to help you keep focused on your marriage.

See it as a freshening up of your marriage, preventive maintenance, a marriage tune up, or fanning the flames of romance, love and passion.

You could even call it continuing education.

We will be covering everything that has to do with your marriage, including hot topics like sex, communication, love and much, much more.

Our teachings are based on Christian principles plus over 47 years of marriage to each other and ministry experience.

We want to help you make your marriage great by teaching you how to be married and love it.

It is an honor and privilege to have you join us.

Hey, do you remember your wedding?

The day of your wedding, you said your vows, you cut the cake, you ate the cake, or maybe you shoved it in your spouse's face.

Sometimes that happens.

You threw the flowers and you threw the garter that he removed off of your leg.

Maybe you danced, maybe you drank and did a bunch other dance with your father.

You had the mother, daughter, mother, son, date, whatever it was.

And then.

And then when it was, you had the reception.

And then when it was all said and done, you went out to your car and you saw your car, it might have had just Mary on the back with cans attached and.

Well, ours had shaving cream.

Oh yeah, shaving cream on it.

And then when we washed it a week or so later after we got back from our honeymoon cruise, it was in the paint.

Oh gosh, it was a mess.

Well, anyways, and.

But the thing is, then you drove off together.

You were leaving everything behind and starting your new journey as a married couple.

Yeah.

Getting in that car and driving Ops represents leaving your old life, leaving everything behind.

And you're starting together.

Now.

There's one thing about it.

Usually that car has a trunk in it.

So the question is, what from your past got stuck in a suitcase and got put in your trunk that could affect what your marriage journey is all about?

I know I drove away and I didn't leave my parents behind because I still would try to please them or get them involved in things which came back and haunted us later, which we got through that, but that was something.

So you drove off.

You're excited about your future.

But you know that little suitcase that got packed, that's something that may need to be dealt with.

Extra baggage, extra Baggage, Yes.

But you drove off and probably you.

You didn't know exactly where you were going in your life.

And maybe you did have some goals and dreams that you were starting.

Maybe you had a career planned out.

You knew what you're doing for school.

You knew where you.

Maybe some of y'all have already bought a house.

But the journey started.

You're on that dream.

You're on that journey and you're excited.

Nothing's going to stop you.

There's a song that we love, it says, nothing's going to stop us now.

No, I'm not going to sing it.

You had some goals and you were starting out now.

Linda and I had.

We're kind of in the same boat.

We got married.

We were.

I was working for my dad.

We said, you know what, we're just going to have our own business with my dad.

We were involved in some high school ministry stuff.

We'll do that.

We'll probably maybe do something else at some point.

We'll just be there, support the church with our time and finances, and we'll just have a happy little life.

But that was our journey.

But you know what?

Before long on your journey there, when you're got in that car, you're going to have curves come up close, roads.

You could have a breakdown.

You could have mountains you got to go over.

And the roads are real curvy on those mountains.

There could be detours you run in the.

You have flat tires.

All of a sudden things begin to slow down because your journey is getting interrupted.

Maybe you get laid off from that new job that you just got right before you got married because you just graduated college.

They dec.

No, we're not going to hire you.

Maybe something happens and all of a sudden that journey starts having bumpy roads.

And at that point your journey can be stopped or it can get slowed down and go a whole different direction.

I remember our first three years of marriage.

After about the first year of getting acclimated and everything, Linda burned her arm.

Third degree burns on her arm and then on her hands, which.

So we had to go through some surgeries.

We had to recover.

She couldn't work.

Lots of pain.

And then after that, a short while after that, she had a miscarriage, which for a woman, that is a major event.

And probably most men.

But I was so not in the feelings anything.

I don't.

I probably didn't even realize what happened.

I just knew we lost a baby.

But those things can come in and slow you down.

I remember this past two weeks, we went down to Florida to go to a podcasting conference.

We drove from Raleigh all the way down to Orlando.

Had a great trip.

We do a lot of pit stops at our age, but it was a great trip.

We had a good time.

Stopped at BUC EE's once or twice, made that tour.

And so we had a good trip.

Took us a while, but we had a great trip.

But when we came back, I noticed there was storm, winter storm warnings coming out.

But it looked like it wasn't going to hit Raleigh till late in the that.

That night when we'd be heading back and so we should be okay.

So we got on the road, we got down, got up to Jacksonville, Florida and lo and behold, on their highway sign, it said storm warnings.

Well, that was going to be later that evening for Jacksonville.

But everywhere we went we were sign saying, sign saying winter storm warnings coming.

And we finally got into Georgia, getting up close to South Carolina, and it started sleeting pretty heavy.

So he pulled over to the side road.

It was almost 5:00.

Gonna get some food and get some gas.

And everybody said, no food, we're closing cracker barrel, it's 5:00.

We're sending our people home.

It's sleeting in the whole rest area are wherever that was the side of the road where you have all the restaurants and such, they were closing down.

It was like a big deal.

And so at that point, our journey took a turn.

What we were going to do, were we going to keep going or because of what they were doing there, say we need to go check in a hotel and hibernate?

And I said, no, let's go on down the road a little ways.

So we went on down the road a little ways and eventually the roads cleared up and it quit.

It quit doing anything.

So it was great.

Then we got down a little further into South Carolina and the snow started coming down and Linda's getting a little more nervous and I'm having a blast because I like being in the slow.

No, it was scary.

Well, that was later in the evening.

That was later in the evening, yeah.

But we finally got on up closer, farther into South Carolina.

It was coming down fairly decent and the roads were getting covered, but we could travel and we stopped and, and got some more gas.

But what happened?

We finally got to the point where the roads were getting more.

The lanes got down to one or two lanes and there was actually snow building up on the roads and a lot of trucks.

And a lot of trucks.

Now we're, now we're getting into 9, 10, 11 o'clock at night.

Yes.

We stopped and got gas.

We stopped at a Buc EE's and it was snow all over the ground there.

So at that point, we still had a choice.

Are we going to keep going or sit it out?

So I decided we're gonna get back and keep going, keep going and.

But the longer you had to conquer the road.

But our journey was going, but we had obstacles.

We had to slow down.

There was big trucks on the road.

They would come by and you would go, I don't know what they're gonna do.

Or if you tried to pass a couple times, and they're slow and you slide a little bit.

So come to find out, by the time we got into North Carolina, the snow had stopped.

We just had to deal with all the slush.

My point being here is going down, we had a smooth trip.

Coming back, we had obstacles, and that's the same thing that happens on our marriages.

We're going to run into obstacles.

We've got this journey we're going to be living.

But God wants us to succeed in that journey.

But what are we going to do when those obstacles hit?

Maybe it is a layoff, maybe it is a sickness, maybe it is losing a baby, maybe it's having kids, period.

Maybe it's a new job.

And also in that first three years, we also picked up and moved to start a new part of our journey, which we'll talk about that in a few minutes.

So the whole point being is you're on the road together and God, and through this podcast, we want to talk about how God wants you to come out on the other side of your journey down the road.

We've been married 47 years.

We still got more time to go.

But we want you to be, when you get the 47 years married or longer that you're coming out of your journey successful, you can look back, say, we made it.

Wow, that snow, that storm on the road was wild.

We enjoyed the view, but we made it home and got back into our bed and.

And had a good night's rest.

So we want you to be able to go on that journey and come out on the other side successful in it.

And so that's our goal right now.

So, Linda?

Well, with today's podcast, we can look at it like this.

We're starting a new journey, and it's a new year, and we can put a marker in the ground and reset our odometer and start this new journey today.

But what we're going to be Talking about on this podcast is not like setting New Year's Eve goals.

Right.

Or New Year goals for the remaining of the year.

This is like a life's journey that you're going to have together.

Yeah.

And as we talk about that, there's different seasons in your marriage journey, and I kind of alluded to that.

Maybe you're on your journey, you're starting that new career, maybe you're having kids.

Well, as soon as you get kids, your journey kind of changes, will change, definitely.

Especially if you have the second kid and the third kid, especially if they're close together.

And maybe the kids have gone to school now and you have half the day off and they're.

And they're driving their own car.

Maybe you're dealing with aging parents, you're looking at retiring, you're changing jobs, you're moving, you're changing locations.

All of these things cause a shift in your marriage journey where conflict can come in, disappointments can come in, your rhythm gets.

Gets messed up.

And maybe you just need to take that breath that people say, breathe in, breathe out, slow down, and regroup.

Because what happens when these different seasons come in?

We need to update our map on our gps, so to speak, or where our destination is taking us so we can continue our journey, regroup and move on.

So that's what we're going to be talking about, is how to experience God's best on your journey so you can be married and love it.

That's why we're talking about plans, dreams, goals, and purpose tips to your marriage journey.

And before we move on any further, I just want to take a moment.

When you're finished listening to this podcast, think of somebody that could benefit from this episode or any of the other episodes.

A podcast on being married that you could share this with and say, hey, listen to this.

You'll get some good tips for your marriage.

So think about that.

Just go up to the top of the page where the podcast player is, hit those little dots, and you'll see something that comes up, says share.

And think of somebody to send it to through an email or a text so they can enjoy this also.

So let's talk about the journey.

Let's.

Let's set a destination and let's create some adventures, Right?

Yeah.

We don't want to settle for good.

We want to go for the best.

And that would be in our life and our marriage relationship.

Take your marriage to the next level.

You know, I'm going to interrupt real quick, do.

Because I was at a podcast podcasting Conference this past week.

God opened up the doors.

Miraculous we were able to get there and attend it.

And I would tell people, what's the name of your podcast?

They say, what's the name of your podcast?

And I would go, oh, it's married and love it.

And I go, oh, that is so good.

But some people would just kind of stand back and wouldn't ask me any questions about it.

Give them a card or something.

It's like, no, no, we're good.

Oh, our marriage is good.

We're okay.

We're okay.

Or people even at church, or people out.

When we meet people out and about, you ask them, oh, we're good.

We're good.

We don't need a class.

We're good.

Yeah, but you know what?

It's like Linda just said, don't settle for good.

Yeah, go for that.

Is that is sad to settle.

Oh, we're good.

No, go for the best.

Whatever point you're at in your marriage, excel still more.

Go to the next level.

Go to the next level.

Yeah.

So if you've got a good marriage, well, then take.

Thanks for investing.

By listening to the podcast, it shows that you're interested in that preventive maintenance.

You're interested in going the next level.

You're interested in continuing education.

So we're gonna make it even better.

You're gonna pursue your goals, dreams, your desires, your visions, and your purposes together as a married couple.

Yeah.

Because if you're in this situation, and this happens a lot with people, they get caught up in the rut of life.

Yeah.

They get up in the morning, maybe they have their Bible study, maybe they don't.

They get their coffee, they rush around the house.

They get up, rush to work.

Especially if mom and dad are both working.

Drop off the kids at the daycare, go to work, work late sometimes come home, maybe eat dinner, take the kids, the football, ballerina, practice, whatever it is.

Somebody tries to clean up the house, maybe an argument happens.

Well, that's not my job.

That's your job.

And you try to get the house under control, come home, do homework or.

Or just crash.

And the next thing you know, it's 10 o'clock.

Nobody had time to be romantic or have sex.

Everybody's too tired.

There's no commitment, communication and connections going on.

You know what?

The alarm goes off, you get up and do it again.

You're on that hamster all over.

You're on that hamster wheel.

That's not living with vision and purpose.

That's existing.

Yeah.

So have you ever thought about that, and I'll be honest, because most of us had.

We're just existing because we're not living with vision, we're not living with purpose.

And that's what we're going to talk about now.

So our challenge is for you guys, for me and Linda, write a vision.

Talk about the vision that you want to have for your life.

And we're going to go into that in a little bit more in a minute.

But then write it down, put pictures up, but run, it says run.

The one who hears it runs with it.

Well, don't just talk about your dreams or your goals.

Do something just like if you're wanting to get a, a raise and a advancement at work, a lot of times you need to go take a class at school maybe to learn a little bit more, you know.

So what do you need to do?

Well, Helen Keller, and she was blind, and she was asked, is there anything worse than being blind?

And she replied, yes, the most pathetic person in the whole world is someone who has sight but no vision.

And she could really relate to that because she did not have any sight.

Well, vision, it's having a purpose in your life and goals and dreams.

It's seeing ahead and knowing where you're going.

Jonathan Swift, in 1699, he said, Vision is the art of seeing the invisible.

That's powerful.

Wow.

That is right there.

And that's as an individual and as a couple.

And so take the time to discuss and pray about your goals and dreams together.

And like Greg said, write them down and.

And then just do it.

Just do it.

Pursue it.

So what's God's vision for you?

Well, Jeremiah 29:11, which is one of my favorite verses, and I know you probably know it by heart, says, for I know the plans that I have for you, and I'll put in there for your marriage, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope.

So we just want to encourage you that God's got a future for you if your marriage isn't where you want it.

Where your.

If your life isn't where you want it, God has a future for you, and he gives you the ability and the tools to do something about it or to excel still more.

And he gives you hope because we put our trust and faith and confidence in Him.

A question I have for you.

Little earlier, we talked about leaving your wedding and we said, you're driving away in your car.

You and your spouse, you're driving away.

You maybe have some goals for your Immediate future.

And you got everything all planned out like a Hallmark movie wedding, you know, everything's all planned out.

But I want to ask you today, who or what is driving your car today?

Are you still driving that car?

Do you still know the destination you're wanting to get to?

Are you willing to go through the turns to snow?

Like when I was driving Linda back from Florida and we hit all that snow and I knew where I wanted to go and I wanted to be there so we could get in our bed.

And by the time we got the Raleigh, the snow had stopped, but there was a lot on the ground.

But it was, it was, it was a smooth drive overall once we got up the traffic and got more that way.

But I knew where I wanted to go.

We made a decision.

We're going to push through.

Are you pushing through in your life with the things that you're trying to deal with?

Because are you driving the car or is life's circumstances driving your car and determining where you're heading?

So God's got good things in store for you and he wants you to develop a future based on his plans.

And that's what we're going to talk about.

God has many areas to bless you, and here's just a few.

Yeah, he wants you to experience his blessings and his promises in your marriage.

Like he wants you to have a strong, healthy marriage and good kids, financial stability, successful careers.

If it's a dream home you're looking for that being debt free, maybe it's certain vacations that you want to do or maybe, maybe it's retirement plans.

Well, three John two says, beloved, I pray that in all aspects or in all respects that you may prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers.

And that's what God wants for us in our marriage relationship.

And number two is God got plans for you.

He's got a purpose for you being here, a purpose for your marriage, something to accomplish together as a couple or individual.

And we're going to get in to what God wants overall for your whole life, whether it's finances and health and all that.

We'll touch on that and then some steps to get to that.

But he also has a purpose for you and he has a purpose for your marriage.

And that doesn't get talked about a lot or if it does, people always, I hear people going, well, what is my purpose?

What am I supposed to do?

I don't think I'm called to be a pastor.

I don't know what I'm supposed to Do I don't want to go live in the jungle.

What am I supposed to do with my life?

And they really struggle with that.

So what I want to do and what Linda and I want to do, we're going to take some time on this.

We hadn't planned on originally to talk about what God's purpose for you could be for you and your spouse or both of you together will help you paint a picture.

Yeah, because fortunately in our life God's called us and we're, we're, we're co.

Working together.

We each have little areas we love, but we're working together.

And so I'm going to be sharing some come to Jesus moments and some impacts of our life that's impacted our journey and how we've adapted, but how our purpose was found.

And I think you'll enjoy that.

And so we're going to get into that and we're probably not going to get this whole topic taking care of the day.

So we'll probably have two parts.

So.

But it all started our journey together and this all kind of ties together.

Our journey started, started back in the summer of 1975.

I'd been out of school for about a year.

Linda was just getting ready to go in her senior year and we were at this rated G discotheque.

We may have talked about this previously, where it's under 21, no alcohol, and you come in and shake your booty to the Bee Gees and whoever else is on there, but there's no alcohol.

And I said I was wanting to date a Christian girl and I didn't want to go to bars because I was old enough.

I think maybe I could have gone.

Because I was already here in 19.

Yeah, 18 or 19.

So we, me and my friends went in there and you know, I'm looking for a Christian, a better atmosphere, let's put it like that.

So we went in there, been in there like three days in a row.

Going in, hanging out.

Then the last, I think I'd seen Linda in there, but it hadn't totally clicked.

And then the last, the next night we went in, waited in line forever to get in and the guys wanted to go.

I said, no, we need to go in there tonight.

And sure enough, we went in there, stand around trying to look cool.

And all of a sudden this guy walks over and says, see that girl over there?

And I looked over there and I said, yeah, I see her.

And all my friends are.

She says, you want, she wants you to ask her to dance.

And I kind of Looked and hesitated.

And my friend goes, if you don't, I am.

And I said, yeah, I'll go ask her to dance.

So we.

We went over, and Linda.

I have her side of the story, but we ended up dancing.

And that is where my first come to Jesus moment.

This is the girl I want, the one girl I want to marry.

You're aha.

But not as strong as she was.

Was an aha moment.

At least right then that night.

It was an aha moment.

Yes.

But I wanted a Christian girl.

And you can say, well, why were you wanting a Christian girl?

Because I had values that I was living by.

I knew what I wanted because I knew if you're unequally yoked, you can have problems down the road.

So I started looking on my journey, what type of person I wanted for my journey.

I want the values and beliefs to be the same, you know, And.

And.

And in your walk with God, and you're.

If you're not married yet or thinking about getting married, there's things.

There's red flags.

You want to look for.

Look for family differences.

Will you marry you because you married the family?

Yes.

Look at who they hang out with, who are their friends, who are they hanging out with.

Is that the type of group you want to be with?

Can you work together?

Now?

What was neat, once Linda and I started dating, I would bring her to.

I was involved in high school ministry, which.

I'll get that in a minute.

But she came around and fit right into it and developed the vision for that.

She met my mom, my dad, and my.

Her and my mom clicked.

So I was able to see we were on the same page even more because.

Because she could have come to the high school activities with me and said, now I'm not really into that.

You do your thing and I'll do my thing.

Well, that wasn't what God had for us.

So those are things that can bring conflict down the road.

So you.

Even when you're dating, you are working on your journey for yourself and your future spouse.

Lynn, do you got anything you want to put in there?

No.

Okay.

I know.

I think you said, I'm gonna marry that guy.

I did.

I told my friend, I said, see that guy over there?

And he was hanging with.

I think it was four other guys, but that he had this dark tan and Hawaiian shirt on, and he had long curly hair.

I said, see that guy?

I'm gonna marry him.

See?

I said, which girl was looking at me?

You know that's right.

But Linda, at that point, I knew it's like I proclaimed it, that guy's mine.

And I.

She was, she was tan.

She went to the beach all the time because we were only an hour from the beach.

She had long blonde hair.

I mean, the perfect copper tone type picture back then.

So now our.

Both of our attractions, though, were spiritual.

We picked up on our love for God from each other.

And the looks had.

Well, so what was the question you asked me once we did hook up?

Oh, well, after hanging out, few dates, I finally said, I need to clarify, is Linda a Christian or not?

So I just asked her.

I think I said, are you saved?

Well, I didn't know what that meant.

I was a Catholic back.

So she just said, I'm Catholic.

And that was good enough for you, right?

I said, well, that's enough for me.

I did not do any follow up questions.

You left it at that.

Nothing against Catholics, but some Catholics may not be walking in a relationship the way we were talking about.

Yeah.

So eventually, this is cool.

Eventually we went to.

I got.

We.

We're involved in a youth ministry at that point, just the high school aspect of it.

Probably had three to 400 high school students, then they had junior highs and then they had college age kids.

So it's probably close to a thousand all together.

But we were in a meeting one night and we were sitting in the meeting about halfway up on the right side of the building.

There's probably five or six hundred people in that meeting.

And I'm the type that does not, I repeat at that point, did not like to get in front of people.

No.

And we're sitting there, the preacher was preaching, and I knew he didn't like people to get up in the middle of preaching.

And all of a sudden I felt sick to my stomach.

And I was looking around, I said, I got to get up.

But I said, you know what, If I get up, everybody in this building is going to stare at me when I get up.

A thousand eyes.

Well, or a thousand.

Yeah, whatever it was.

But then I said, if I sit here and puke, everybody's gonna get up because I puked.

Yeah, that was pretty bad.

So I made the choice to get up and get out.

And I don't think anybody stared at me.

I went out, went to the bathroom thinking I was gonna, you know, throw up.

Nothing happened and I felt great, but I was too chicken to go back in there.

So I just waited outside for the service to get over and the whole building emptied out and there was no Linda coming out.

So I said, all right, let Me go back in and see what's going on.

And then her, her purse, her Bible was my Bible Bible that she had brought.

And I go.

Then she came out of her room.

I go, where did she go?

Did she get raptured or something?

Who.

He had given an altar call and so I had gone to the altar call and they said, oh, well, I didn't grab my stuff up this semi pursed.

And um, they said, well, we'll get to take you to a little room, we'll pray for you and all that.

So I went with them.

And so then I was gone.

And he was like, where'd you go?

Yeah, I eventually came back out, right?

Yeah.

And but it was like God got me out of there.

So she felt more comfortable.

I would never have gone forward.

Right.

So God got her, got me out of there.

And where she was able to make that commitment to really get involved with God and ask Jesus into her heart, which that.

So that took care of that box officially and from there.

But see, what was cool is she just.

Our relationship was such that she just came right in and got right in, involved in, into our relationship and took part in my life and became part of what we were doing and such.

And we'll talk about that more at different times.

So here we are today.

So here we are today.

But what happened?

I wanted to, to get into.

Oh, I know what it was down the road.

Here's the next part of our journey.

We had dated almost a year and a half or not quite over a year.

And, and it was getting close to time.

We met in 70, summer 75.

And we got married in fall of 77.

So about two, almost two years or something.

So in there it was time probably to make the next step in our relationship.

And I remember we were at a softball.

I had a softball game and we were sitting on the picnic table outside the field and there's little kids running all around all, everywhere.

And Linda just happens to start saying, you know, my parents are going to be moving to Tennessee here soon and there's some opportunities for me.

I could go to college.

I could go up to college up there.

And it's like, oh, no pressure, Greg.

She's not, she's not doing anything to put pressure on you.

So at that moment I decided to ask her to marry me.

Well, he had to.

Either I was going to go with my parents or and go to school up there or he was going to give me a reason to stay.

Yeah, yeah.

So I felt no pressure.

I never said that I didn't say that.

I don't know what you call it.

I wasn't twisting your arm.

No, not intentionally, I don't think.

Yeah.

So that began our.

Took our journey in more and we're out of time now.

So next we're going to pick up the next episode, talking about how I came across our purpose for me and then in our marriage together and how God developed that when I really was not what I was planning that he would do for us.

So with that, we are going to say, God's got a future and a hope for you.

He's got plans, he's got purpose, he's got good things for you.

And next week we'll talk about how we applied purpose in our marriage and found our purpose.

And how you can find purpose in your life and in your marriage and then how you can live your journey together as a husband and wife and experience what God has for you, no matter how big the mountain is.

Because in our wedding, the singer in our wedding sang a song that said, let us climb this mountain together.

And I.

I don't know if we've forgiven him yet because there's mountains there.

But God can make a way through your mountain, get you around the curves, the snow, and whatever comes your way.

Because God's got a future and hope for you and your marriage.

So here's our homework assignment from episode 13.

And just together, discuss your goals and dreams for your marriage relationship.

And you may have already done this, so then that can include like your children, your health together, your recreational activities, maybe your careers.

Those are just some ideas.

And share any individual goals that you might have with each other.

And then what we always like to close with is the ten second kiss.

You want to explain that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And before I get to that, think about your marriage where you're at right now.

Do you feel like you're on that treadmill where you're getting up in the morning, you go through your day, you go to bed and you get up and do the same thing, not really having a purpose.

Are you in a rut?

Or you just got routines and you're not really enjoying your marriage and you don't really feel like you have that purpose.

So think about what Linda said and think about that.

And then next week we'll get in on how to take care of all that.

But yes, the ten second kiss.

You know what it is.

If you've been listening, you need to grab your spouse, pull them up to you and plant a nice good kiss on them for at least 10 seconds.

If you haven't listened to episode 12, listen to the Kiss because it goes all into the power of the kiss.
