A priority is something that is more important than other things. Deciding what is priority for you will determine your actions, and your actions will determine your future.

For example, if you decide that your health is a greater priority than eating anything you want, you will refrain from eating too much junk food or overeating.  That will help to keep you in good shape.  If you decide that eating what you want is a greater priority than your health, then you are more likely to become overweight, suffer various illnesses, and die at a younger age.

In relationships, too, your priorities will affect the health of your relationship. If, for example, you decide that being right (or never being wrong) is a greater priority than communication with your spouse, you will have more conflict and are less likely to have a close relationship.  If  you decide that it is more important to always look for the truth in things your partner says rather than defend yourself from errors, then your communication will improve and you will become closer.

To decide on your priorities, you must first decide what kind of future you want to have. Do you want to be overweight, unhealthy, and have poor communication with your partner?  Then you know what to make priority.  Do you instead want to  be healthy, have good energy, and have a good relationship with your partner?  Then you also know what to make priority.

Your future is decided by what you make your priority today.

Work with a relationship coach to figure out what kind of future you want to have and how to go about creating it.  The only thing keeping you from your dreams is you.
