“I’m filing for divorce and there’s nothing anyone can do to help!” Well, what if there is something?
Join Leah as she helps us understand that sometimes a divorce is inevitable, but sometimes all a marriage needs in order to be saved is more information. It’s time to look at our mesorah (tradition) and uncover this information.
Leah’s Points To Ponder:
- Getting the appreciation we need will immensely increase the joy in our lives. We are bottomless pits of appreciation and our mesorahtells us that we should try to enlist that appreciation. Listen to our show on appreciation to hear how to elicit this, rather than waiting around for our husbands to give it- which isn’t going to happen! Our neediness is G-d given because we are designed to need our husbands.
- Fixing negative communication patterns is crucial. Recognizing not to communicate in the moment, especially in front of kids, is key. This starts with healing past patterns by sitting with him and communicating your feelings. Listen in at 42:01 to hear how to bring up past hurts without opening up a federal case! Sometimes writing a letter might work, but there is always a way into our husband’s heart through softness (not demands and criticism).
- Aspects of the women’s movement have been great but it’s come with collateral damage of a woman needing to be more manly. But we need to embrace our womanhood and teach our husbands how to best handle us. Sometimes we can be emotional or needy –timecode 50:45 will show you how to wrap this up with a bow and sweetly present it to your husband.
Try This At Home:
Try to get your appreciation bucket filled. Introspect what you can do to solve the issue rather than blame him.
