EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS- A-Z OF SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE by Femi Obadun

Exceeding Expectations
Any marital relationship where each of the party is determined to always go beyond the expressed or implied expectations of the other would without doubt experience joy and peace. 

To the women, In lieu of mounting heavy demands on your spouse, try to treat him with those things which only you can offer him, treat him with respect and like a king, you should learn to be creative in exciting him. Recall again those things you have done for your hubby in time past which attracted applause from him, then try to give him a surprise not just by repeating those things, but exceeding or repackaging them in a creative manner. 

Take a tour outside his familiar terrain. Men must respond to such gestures from a creative wife and in turn, he would do beyond your own expectations. Even though it was the man that God first created and this has formed the basis for the theory of ‘it’s a man’s world’ yet am still of the opinion that the woman is not to be seen and treated as second class. She was brought in not as a slave,sex machine or a house help, but as a divine help meet i.e a very necessary part of the man. 
It will take a very special grace of God for any man to survive living without a woman by his side all the way. Therefore, it should not always be the woman that will first start this exceeding expectation game. Sometimes, the woman may have packages for the man, but would hide them, If the suspects this is happening, the strategy to apply in order to have her surrender the surprise package is to give her first a surprise treat like never before. This way, the man has been put in a position to serve first in the love game . 
Men are therefore warned never to underestimate the power of the woman, but rather to do things that excite them whenever necessary. I would rather suggest that, each party should try to be the first to excite and exceed the other’s expectation daily in their home.

If everyday relationship between the spouses is built on this love game platform, the celebration of the 25 years of successful marital life would just be like a flash. It will be like whaoh! How did we make it in those times of turbulence and divorce threatening challenges? The secret is in this love game that both of you have been consciously or unconsciously playing through the years. If your constant focus, dear friend is to please God in all things, then, you should be determined to preserve the institution of marriage which He created for his own pleasure and plan and that can only be achieved through your patience, unfeigned love, surpassing the expectations of your partner in order to make him or her always happy.
God bless your union in Jesus name amen.
