Relationships 101

Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it’s not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.
-Amy Grant

If you’re in a relationship, you probably argue with your partner from time to time. This is normal, but often we can wonder if the amount we’re arguing is or isn’t healthy. To me, the different between healthy and unhealthy relationships is really about how you argue with your loved one. Do you stay on the same side or do you become adversaries? Do you use kind language or mean, demeaning words? Do you repair afterwards or brush things under the rug and act like the argument never happened? It’s definitely worth taking stock of your arguments now and then to see if there are some ways to make them healthier moving forward.

you’re struggling right now, know that you’re not alone. Relationships are hard work for us all, and they do often go through periods of ups and downs. If you could use more help and support, please reach out to your doctor or a therapist in your state. Know that I’m thinking of you and sending lot and love and compassion your way!

Forgiveness of Ourselves and Others

Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic self. We must learn to respect them. We must learn to listen.
– Sarah Ban Breathnach

How are you doing on the forgiveness front these days? Is there anything you’re needing to forgive yourself over? Is there anyone in your life who you’re struggling to forgive? Forgiveness is often one of the hardest things to navigate as a wife, mom, daughter, and human.

If you’re struggling with forgiving yourself and others, know that you’re not alone. This is something that many of us struggle with at one time or another in our own live. If you could use more help and support right now, please reach out to your doctor or a therapist in your area. Know that I’m thinking of you and sending lots of love and compassion your way!
