Help! I’m starting to hate the man I want to love.
Join Leah and learn important steps in dealing with betrayal.
Leah’s Points To Ponder:
- It’s important to analyze our own relationship and ensure communication lines are open and smooth. Even if they are, it’s vital to reach out for help and get a third party involved.
- Dispel the misconception that one’s own happiness is the focus, replace it with the happiness of the family as the focus.
- Make a bullet proof plan to save the marriage by putting boundaries into place. Keeping boundaries is flexing the muscle of closeness with our husband.
- When communicating, tears and emotion will soften a man’s heart and help him come towards us. Listen in at timecode 26:24 for an example of vulnerability at its best.
- Make a commitment to go all in to the marriage. Divorce is not an option until the therapy route has been exhausted.
- A wife who knows how to be a wife, according to our mesorah(tradition), naturally leads to a husband being the husband she needs- like a puzzle piece- and happiness and harmony can soar.
- The woman, with her bina yeseira(female intuition,) is responsible for setting boundaries in the house. The effectiveness of this correlates with the softness of her approach. Timecode 37:38 has a story which exemplifies how words softly from the heart enter the heart.
- If a wife is controlling about everything then when trying to control boundaries, it won’t be impactful. A woman needs to loosen control in other areas to be successful in this crucial one.
Try This At Home:
Let go of control in an unimportant area.
