Your Wedding Day...Two people so full of love and hope. Looking towards the future together. They will be each others best friend, lover and equal partner. Such excitement and hope! Then, as time goes by, something happens. Slowly, like a virus, insidious in its infection, the loving relationship slowly disappears. You no longer talk like friends, or act like lovers. Where did the love and caring go? Where's the passion that was once so hot? How does this happen? It is the "virus" of resentment and anger that infects marriages and these emotions gain their foothold through our unspoken expectations and misunderstandings.
We may not even consciously realize what our expectations are, but when they are not met, resentment and anger arise. Usually a husband will retreat and a wife will seethe. Both are suffering, and wondering what to do. Perhaps you are angry, frustrated, or just a very confused and sad wife because you don't know if it's possible to get the love back, and the thought of forever losing the love you shared with your husband is devastating. Well, it is possible to rekindle the love! Your marriage can be restarted and restored. You just have to know how...You must understand what it is that motivates your husband, what makes him "tick"."
You have far more power than you imagine and in fact you really have almost all the power in your relationship. Not because your husband is weak or doesn't want things to be better, but because as the woman you are far more likely to take action. Ladies, men are men...not women. You cannot treat him like your girlfriend, it won't work, and it's insulting to his manhood. Nagging and complaining will only shut him down. The more frustration and anger you direct toward him, the more he will retreat. Threatening to leave or using threats of any kind is destructive to your relationship, and will not get you the result you want. However, rest assured, there is an effective way to reach your husband. If you take the time to understand how his mind works, and stop trying to change him but use your knowledge to inspire him you will be rewarded with a husband dedicated to making you happy, and giving you everything you need. When your husband is doing everything to make your happy yo! u will be inspired to make him happy and like a flower the love and passion will grow.
Does all of this sound too simple? Well men are rather uncomplicated creatures. Not lesser, just different from a woman. Have you ever heard the saying "Men marry a woman hoping she will never change, and women marry a man expecting him to completely change"? Stop trying to change him. Embrace him and use your knowledge to create the marriage of your dreams. There is great power in love and acceptance, in fact, it's irresistible. It may seem like it's "all up to you" and it is. You can be very excited about that because knowing that you are empowered to change your marriage is reason for hope and celebration! You do not have to sit around and suffer and plead with your husband to attend marriage counseling, or listen to you. You cannot change another person, but you can change yourself and that will change everything.
