intentional
English to Spanish

Counseling
This is a term that keeps popping up through out the text... Examples:
1. Helps husbands and wives become intentional about meeting their mate’s greatest need.
2. Whether you are celebrating a wedding anniversary or just want to become more intentional about fostering intimacy, take time to dream up one new thing to do together for each year you have been married.
3. Talking to singles about becoming intentional regarding marriage.
I have been translating it literally "intencional" but after reading over I dont think it is a term easily understood or commonly used in Spanish like it is in English. Some ideas i've had are... "ponerle importacia" or "tomar con seriedad". Any other ideas, please????!!!!! HELP!!!!!!

: "comprometerse" is like making a promise. This is not the case. Here it means they are going to make a consciencious effort.

1) adoptar/asumir/adquirir la intención de cumplir
2) fortalecer vuestra intención de fomentar la intimidad
3) adoptar/asumir/adquirir la intención de casarse
I think it's important to use "intención" or a word derived from it because in psychology, having the intention to do something is a force in itself that helps you to achieve that thing. Thus, intention is a "driving force" that is the first step to changing one's reality to be the way one wants it.

: Sorry, but I think it does not work here. By the way, it is written "concienzudos".

I don't know why, but I didn't receive your "disagree" by e-mail. I've just stumbled on it. You're right about the spelling, of course.
