I don’t always love my body, but I love that it’s given me you. ❤️

I don’t always love getting up during the night, but I love being your answer right now. ❤️

I don’t always love what the tired can turn me into, but I love who I have become because of you. ❤️

I don’t always love the finger smudges on the windows, but I love the permanent mark you’ve left on my heart. ❤️

I don’t always love how lost I feel, but I love who you are helping me find. ❤️

I don’t always love coming last, but I love being first in your eyes. ❤️

I don’t always love worrying about you but I love that I care so deeply. ❤️

I don’t always love turning up late, but I love that it’s because I’m early for you. ❤️

I don’t always love the mess, but I love that it is your happiness. ❤️

I don’t always love being touched out, but I love nothing more than being your home. ❤️

I don’t always love missing out on things, but I love being there for you. ❤️

I don’t always love stopping what I’m doing, but I love that my time is yours. ❤️

❤️❤️I don’t always love every single moment in motherhood, but I will always, always, love you. ❤️❤️

VOKSNE MÅ GERNE KEDE SIG.
Det skal vi faktisk helst 🙏🏾

Vi lever i et samfund, der roser fart, fremadstræben, udvikling og opadstigning. Mange af os glemmer derfor vores pauser. Kvalitetspauserne uden skærme, uden andre mennesker og uden andre former for stimuli.

Det resulterer i, at vores krop, hjerne og nervesystem er på overarbejde - alt for ofte i for lang tid ad gangen. Og det har negative konsekvenser for vores mentale (og også for vores fysiske) sundhed. 💯

Derfor bør vi voksne praktisere det, mange af os prædiker til børn: Det er sundt at kede sig.

Så ked dig lidt mere, okay? 😊

Examples of each in a marriage:

TRIGGERS:
• yelling reminds them of a hostile environment growing up
• seeing their partner talk someone attractive reminds them of being cheated on

BELIEFS:
• “if they really cared, they’d know this matters to me.”
• “the man should always initiate intimacy.”

WOUNDS:
• rejection: when I opened up, I was rejected so I won’t do that again
• father was emotionally abusive: latent anger that comes out in cycles

INSECURITIES:
• hates their body and constantly compares to others
• when conflict arises, a complete inability to pause until it’s resolved because of worrying they won’t be loved anymore

I could provide more examples, but the point is coming across, right? 🤔

We don’t just marry our partners strengths.

We can’t reject each other because of the healing and growth that we all must do. 💯

BUT here’s the key requirement: being willing. 💯

Willing to acknowledge those parts of ourselves that need to be addressed. 💯

Not because you’re flawed, but because we ALL have things to work on!!!!! 💯
Whether it’s a trigger, a wound, a limiting belief, an insecurity — they are going to show up and be magnified in a romantic relationship.

So I invite you to both lean INTO both growing as individuals and as a couple.
This can be through personal development books, workshops, coaches, healing retreats, and more.

I see couples thrive and overcome challenges when they VALUE personal growth and healing. It doesn’t mean it’s always fun but it’s NECESSARY, otherwise you’ll constantly relive the same experiences with each other.

I hope this post is providing helpful perspective. 🙏🏾

♥️ Love languages ♥️

What are the love languages?

We all give and receive love in 5 different ways:

1️⃣ words of affirmation
2️⃣ acts of service
3️⃣ receiving gifts
4️⃣ quality time
5️⃣ physical touch.

✴️ Words of affirmation ✴️
When words of affirmation is your love language, words build you up. You thrive on spoken affection, praise, encouragement, and compliments. Harsh words and criticism can bother you for a long time.

✴️ Acts of Service ✴️
Anything that your partner does willingly to ease your workload is a sign of love to you. You feel cared for when your partner vacuums before you get to it or makes you breakfast as a surprise. On the other hand, broken promises or laziness can make you feel unimportant.

✴️ Receiving gifts ✴️
When you speak this love language, a thoughtful gift shows to you that you are special. In contrast, generic gifts and forgotten special events have the opposite effect. This love language isn’t necessarily materialistic – it could be as simple as receiving your favourite snack after a bad day.

✴️Quality time✴️
To you, nothing says you’re loved like undivided attention. When your partner is truly present (and not looking at their phone), it makes you feel important. Failure to actively listen or long periods without one-on-one time can make you feel unloved.

✴️Physical touch✴️
Holding hands, kisses, hugs, and other touches are your preferred way to show and receive love. Appropriate touches convey warmth and safety, while physical neglect can drive a wedge between you and your partner.

⭐️ We all have the 5 love languages, where we have one or two preferred love languages.

Which one is your preferred love language?

My preferred love language is:
1️⃣ Quality time and 2️⃣ Words of affirmation.

Best thing you could probably do as a father is make sure they see how much you love their mother. - Matthew M. 🙌🏾

Do you know that feeling when you wake up in the middle of the night and it’s cold and your diaper feels heavy. And there are so many strange sounds all around you, and it’s dark and scary. And you get a hit in your head and it’s your hand that’s on its own adventure. And you can’t control it at all and it flings itself around and scratches your face and pulls at your hair. And your legs start kicking off the duvet, even though you’re cold as it is and you try to make it stop but they have their own will. And so you’re lying there completely helpless with flailing limbs that want to do everything, but none of the things you want.

And you can’t find mom. And you call for her and you find yourself feeling really scared. What if your beloved mom doesn’t come for you. You can’t imagine anything worse and you start to cry because you miss her so terribly. You have never felt as alone as this very moment.

And then she is suddenly there. Standing right by your bed and looking at you with worry and love. And she is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. And you grin up at her with happiness and relief. You don’t think you’ve ever felt as happy as this very moment.

And she picks you up and holds you close. And she smells like herself, and also a bit like you. Like milk and safety and love. And it’s the best smell in the whole entire world.

And she is warm and safe and soft and her hands caress you and she feeds you and hums your favourite tune. And you love her voice. You’ve known it far longer than you’ve really known her. It has lulled you to sleep and made you laugh and calmed you when you were distressed. It is the most beautiful voice in the whole entire world.

And you get to lie right up against her and you feel your entire body start to warm up again. And your still cold hand starts stroking her and moves up towards her neck and accidentally scratches her. Stupid uncontrollable hand. But mom doesn’t get angry. She takes your stupid hand in hers and it turns all warm again. And this is the best feeling in the world. Right here in mommy’s arms, with your hand in hers. Even the diaper doesn’t feel as horrible anymore.

And you feel your eyes getting heavy and you know that everything is okay now cause mommy is here. Your mom. Your wonderful, incredible mom who always looks after you. Night and day.

You look up at her one last time before you fall asleep. She looks tired and her eyes are closed, and yet she is still the most magnificent thing you know. How amazing that she wants to sit here with you in this moment. How amazing that she will always sit with you for a bit when you need her to.

You smile to yourself. How lucky you were that she became your mom. The most perfect mom anyone could have asked for.
You knew, even before you saw her, that she would be the best thing in the world.

Oh how you love her. Your mom❤️
