Living in a pro-active marriage means that both parties are actively seeking to improve the relationship and marriage daily. There is nothing like having a partner that is just as interested in you as you are in them. They see that there are realistic needs that you request and are actively trying to make those things happen for you. When problems happen in marriage, it is easy to look at the other person to solve the problem then to just work together on a solution. No matter what the issue is in marriage, what effects one person, effects both people eventually. That's why being pro-active about the other party's realistic needs is so super important. What I mean by realistic needs is that some things we request are more wants than needs. Wants tend to be things that can be worked on over a period of time but needs are things that need more immediate action or it could hurt the relationship. Have a conversation with yourself first to determine if what you requested is a want or is it a need. Have a conversation with your partner next to work together to see if this need can be met and to further determine if this is something that you can't live without. Once you do those two things, take steps to fix things and make some progress. Your partner will thank you for that and your marriage will grow from your positive steps.
