Why do we push things off that are important?

Going LIVE on social media throughout the week to share faith, life & relationship encouragements is something God placed on my heart, and is important to me. One of those is my Newlywed Chronicles. I started off two months ago committed and consistent. It was going good! Yet as the weeks went on, my consistency waned.

The next day turned into the next, which turned into next week, and now it’s been almost a month.

During this time God convicted me, “stop putting off until tomorrow the things I should do today.” As I seek to rectify my mistake I want to use it as an encouragement today to you. Pushing things off until tomorrow isn’t just a me problem, it’s a human problem. There are things we know are important, things we know we should do, but we don’t do them. We allow other things less significant to take their place.

This is also true in relationships. There are important things you should be doing, but you’re maybe pushing off doing them. Maybe it’s having that tough conversation. Maybe it’s planning that date you promised to do. Maybe it’s having intimacy with your spouse that you haven’t done in over a month. Whatever it is that you’re pushing off, it is ultimately hurting your relationship, because it’s not getting done.

In this Newlywed Chronicle episode, I want to encourage you don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today!
