Assessing Expectations and Meeting Needs
Goal: To hold an in-depth discussion about your expectations and your individual and unified needs as one possible way to strengthen the unity and harmony in your marriage. To understand and communicate the primary needs you each perceive you have, to assess the extent to which your needs are reasonable and being met, which are vital to be met whenever possible, and who is meeting them. To be clear how to mutually meet one another’s needs as a loving service in your marriage and how meeting primary needs contributes to the strength of your marriage. To create action plans to address unmet needs as appropriate.
Individuals may not recognize their own needs or when they are valid and worthy of respect. Couples can also easily make assumptions about their spouses’ needs, hold expectations about how their spouse should meet their needs, and struggle to meet one another’s primary needs. Where needs are consistently not met in a marriage, there is likely to be a breakdown in connection or communication between you. This discussion and action guide will assist you to have an improved understanding of your own needs and your partner’s needs and how to meet them together effectively. You will also distinguish what needs that you have as a couple beyond your individual needs. Note that there is some spiritual content in this module.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand individual expectations and needs
- Understand how meeting primary needs can benefit the marriage
- Determine how the primary needs can be met effectively
- Improve fulfillment of needs through thoughtful, loving service to each other
- Communicate effectively when needs are met or not met, why there is success or a challenge, and how to proceed
