I knew at a very young age I wanted to be a wife long before I knew what career path I wanted to take. I idolized my grandmother who is a devoted wife and mother of seven. I can’t really say I was raised or trained to be a wife. I did watch my grandmother who was married for over 60 years before my grandfather died. I observed my mother. Unfortunately, my mother and stepfather divorced when I was in college. As I observed both, I am not sure what I really retained. I know there were some good things and some bad things about marriage and interacting with the opposite sex. But there was no true instruction, guidance or training on how marriage works, how men and women interact, how to love someone through the good and the bad. I just thought it would magically happen, like a fairy tale.
I knew marriage would not be perfect and would take hard work. I was naïve in my thinking because I thought I would work at it while in the process of being married. Needless to say, that did not turn out well. I was devastated when my marriage failed. The one true thing I desired had failed. I was beyond heartbroken. Unfortunately, my husband did not want to go to counseling. We separated and were eventually divorced. The one thing I prayed was that I would not be bitter. I do not want to be one of those women who were bitter and became a man bashed.
After much self-reflection, I knew that if I wanted to realize my dream I need to do some work. If I wanted different results, I need to be doing something different. I knew if I wanted better, I had to be better. The saying says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I couldn’t go into a new relationship being the same person with the same knowledge or better said lack of knowledge. I need a new level of thinking, I need new skills and a different mindset.
Maybe you are like me and your relationship has hit a brick wall. You know there has to be more vibrancy and life in marriage then what you are currently experiencing. You feel like you are lacking the necessary communication, financial and problem-solving skills necessary to make this marriage thing work.
