Your experiences

Another piece of the blueprint building block idea is the reality of life experiences. These experiences can shape your thoughts about life, relationships and marriage, and they can become part of your mental mode of operation. Once established as a mindset, these experiences then manifest by way of your expectations of people. For example, you may find that when it comes to relationship, your expectations are not based on current realities, but rather they are a result of what you have previously encountered.

It’s important to understand that your own experiences, whether negative or positive, may create a certain line of thought that has an impact not only on your current relationships but future relationships also. Take time to note down and examine what has informed your thinking and be honest with yourself in assessing whether this is beneficial to you or not.

At the end of the day, taking time to assess the blueprints that inform your thinking is a necessary process on the journey of preparation. Doing this can help you determine whether family, society and the experiences you have encountered have given you a good blueprint for life and relationships, and particularly marriage. In your assessment be honest with yourself and ask questions like, What do I think marriage will be like? What are my thoughts on marriage? Am I aware of the potential pitfalls of marriage, and the potential challenges? It is not about being negative. It is about being real, taking time to think through things and writing your thoughts down so you have a clearer picture of what informs your thinking on marriage. You become more aware of what you may need to change in terms of your thinking, and it becomes easier for you to control what filters through to you so that you can guard your mind against negative messages. In this way you become intentional about what comes in.
