5 Goals You Should Make in Your Marriage in 2025

Over the last month, I’ve seen so many couples looking tired, haggard and super exhausted. And it makes me wonder how they’re doing under the surface. Are they supporting each other, truly loving each other and staying connected through the silly season?

If I was one of these couples there are five goals that I would want us to have for our marriage in 2025.

Talk about these 5 things with your spouse and discuss your marriage goals in 2025. For each point see the Date Night questions below :)

1. Connect every single day 

Couples that don't prioritise daily connection end up drifting slowly apart. It's simply what happens. Drift is normal. But that doesn't make it a good thing.

That's why we need to be intentional, turn towards and create rituals that help us connect. These things help to offset normal drift and keep us close and connected!

How will you connect every day? How will you do this when you're tired, stressed or in a funk? Talk about it!

2. Talk about hard things

Mutual permission to bring up hard topics is a powerful key to your sense of togetherness. Imagine knowing that, at any time (of course pick your timing well!) you can share something deeper, open, vulnerable and honest and know that your spouse is going to listen.

This one can take time to develop and normalise. That's ok. Set it up now and work it out along the way.

3. Have sex often

Sex is important to closeness and marriage happiness. Just remember that it’s not the only important thing!

What frequency works for you both this coming year? It will be somewhere in the middle of where both your libidos are.

A commitment to enjoying this aspect of your marriage together and truly learning to serve one another in this way is powerful.

4. Work like a team

“It’s always team, ALWAYS!”

Teamwork is core to healthy, happy marriages. We simply feel like we're not alone in this journey called life and all the mundane things that come with it!

What does teamwork mean to you? How can you ensure that you're supporting each other, carrying your level of load and taking responsibility?

This might mean you need to up your game when it comes to the kids or the housework. This might mean you need to ask for help when it comes to managing money. How will you be more of a team in 2025 than you were in 2024?

5. Commitment to personal growth

Marriages get stale when people stop growing. When you're just existing day to day not going anywhere, not growing or changing, not trying new things or working on yourself the relationship can become bland.

Status quo isn't a great relationship status!

How can you work on yourself in 2025? What does it mean for you to find healing, and maturity or to learn more about how marriage and relationships work? What does improving your self-esteem look like? Or learning to forgive?

When we work on ourselves we bring a better version of ourselves into our marriage and family. Consistent growth is underrated for its impact on your marriage.

Check out the Date night questions below to work on these together!
