Don't try to change one another...just love one another In Marriage it is so easy for couples to start wanting the other person to change. We start feeling and thinking things that are not emotionally supportive for a healthy marriage. When we start thinking things that support destruction and disconnection then the gap becomes larger and larger between the two of us and then before we know it we feel as thou we would be happier alone or with someone else. I know what I am talking about as I use to be a wife that did this. I use to think things like... life would be easier on my own Or I would think... I wish my husband made more money or at times I would feel and think that my husband and I had very little in common. When I was feeling and thinking these kind of thought these are the things I started experiencing in my marriage. I started feeling disconnected and alone in my marriage. About a year ago I was speaking to a friend of mine and I was voicing these thoughts and feelings to her. She then stated to me, " if you keep stating these things then those will be the things you experience in your marriage". I never wanted to be one of those wives that dominated, demand and acted needy of her husband. I realized after this conversation that I had taken a few steps in the wrong direction. After that conversation I now think and feel beautiful thoughts about my husband and my marriage. I think things like... My life would not be easier without my husband because I am choosing to love him not needing to. I do not care what type of income my husband brings home as he loves, supports and gives 100% to this family. I love that I have realized with positive thoughts and positive feelings I can create the marriage we both deserve. I know that I am living with the man that loves me, cares for me and says things to me that brighten my soul. Yesterday I heard amazing words that no physical gift could ever give me. The words were..." I know that I could live without you BUT I would never want too. You are the person I want to experience this world with". I love hearing words that show me he is wanting to be here not having to be here. Start focusing on all the positive aspects and all the positive things you and your spouse have created together. Focus on love and happiness. Focus on strengthening your marriage one thought at a time!!!
