Your Marriage Isn't Failing; You Are.

Someone is having a difficult time in their marriage right now.  You are feeling angry, sad and resentful. You’re wondering if you made a mistake. Especially if you’re a newlywed. You’re sitting in your car or half working at your job trying to figure out how you arrived in your present space. Contemplating if it’s even worth the effort.  You’re more like roommates than husband and wife maybe worse because you barely even speak to each other. The “D” word keeps coming up and you wonder if one day you’re gonna come home to find your mate has given up first.

Right now your heart is breaking more and more with thoughts regarding your expectations for your marriage and the reality of your marriage. When you were dating, your spouse was the best thing since sliced bread. Now he's just moldy yeast because even the best bread doesn’t stay fresh forever.

How To Get and Stay Married: What I Think I Know... Part Two

The Other Women In His Life.  I know this is a touchy area so I’m going to speak carefully.  His momma is his momma baby girl.  A man who loves his mother or his grandmother???  Yessssss!!!  #IssaWin That man is going to love you deep.  Yes… He will look for comparisons and connections.  No.  You are not his mother and you never will be, BUT he has chosen you as a reflection of her.  She has built the best foundation for him to love you.  She literally gave him life.  Why do you resent the relationship?  Why don’t you like her?
