It’s okay to have good intentions for your partner. Great idea, a fantastic plan that you hope to carry out for your partner and your relationship. Awesome. You mean to do them, you desire to do them. But…you still have not done them.

You intending to cook a delicious meal is not the same as actually cooking the meal. You intending to get him a birthday gift is not the same as stepping to the mall and getting the gift. How many times have you heard, ‘Oh I was just about to call you? Or Oh I was going to send you a text message! Oh I meant to fix the car!’ Intentions. Intentions. Intentions.

As good as good intentions are, they become annoying when they are not backed up with good actions.

Good intentions are not enough! Good intentions grow stale!

The intention was there but it didn’t translate to action.

And Procrastination is the greatest killer of great intentions.

So, let’s deal with this right away.

Make that call. Yes, right now. Send that text. Yes, right now.

Dial her number right now and ask for a date.

Wear your jacket and go watch that movie with your wife.

Drive to the store now and get the gift for your husband.

Take responsibility for that pregnancy and that child.

Visit your mum this weekend.

Plan the dinner.

You’ve been meaning to fix their car or even change it, go right ahead now and make it happen.

Do not let those good intentions grow stale. Your heart’s been in the right place all along. You’ve got what it takes to finish it up, so go to it. Once the commitment is clear, you do what you can, not what you can’t. The heart regulates the hands.

Once the commitment is clear, go ahead, and do it!
