Marriage – A sacred bond đź’Ż

As a man, protecting your wife from your parents and siblings is essential, but in the context of your marriage, your wife must come first. It is your primary responsibility to shield her from toxic individuals, even if they happen to be your family members.

As a husband, it is your home and your wife. Do not stand by and watch as others create tension within it. If you allow them to break your home, the same people will eventually use your failure against you.

Marriage is a sacred bond, and as a man, you must place your wife at the center of your priorities. When you marry, you commit to creating a life together, and that means protecting that life from any threats, no matter where they come from.

Your role as a man is not just to love your wife but also to ensure her emotional and mental well-being. This includes standing up for her when she is mistreated, even by those closest to you.

Many men struggle to balance loyalty between their family of origin and their wife. However, you must understand that your loyalty now primarily lies with the family you are building with your spouse.

As a husband, protecting your wife does not mean disrespecting your family. It means setting healthy boundaries that ensure mutual respect and harmony. A strong man knows how to communicate these boundaries with firmness and love.

Failing to defend your wife in the face of toxic behaviors from your family sends a message that she cannot rely on you. Over time, this can erode trust, intimacy, and respect in your marriage.

Toxic behaviors, such as constant criticism, interference, or manipulation, should not be tolerated from anyone, regardless of their relation to you. As a man, love for your family does not justify letting them harm your marriage.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your home is a sanctuary of peace for your wife. She should feel safe, valued, and cherished within your relationship, free from unnecessary conflicts or judgments.

Remember that your parents and siblings may not always understand or agree with your decisions, but that does not mean their opinions should dictate your marriage. As the leader of your home, you must stand with your wife as an equal partner.

By protecting your wife from harmful dynamics, you are also setting a powerful example for future generations. Your children, if you have them, will learn what a healthy and respectful marriage looks like.

As a man, a successful marriage requires unity. Stand with your wife, face challenges together, and make it clear to the world that your bond is unbreakable. The strength of your marriage depends on your ability to prioritize and protect it.

Time spent together

It’s not the amount of time you spend with someone that makes you open up, it’s the connection you share.

You can be around someone for years,

and still never feel safe enough to be vulnerable with them.

But then, you meet that one person and suddenly,

it feels easy to share your deepest thoughts and emotions.

It’s not about the clock ticking, it’s about how your hearts align.

That soul-to-soul connection is rare and when it happens,

it feels like you’ve known each other forever.

True openness doesn’t need years, it just needs the right person

who makes you feel seen, heard, and understood.

When you find that connection, it changes everything. 🌹

Women in Community

I think it was Brene Brown who told a story about a village where all the women washed clothes together down by the river. When they all got washing machines, there was a sudden outbreak of depression and no one could figure out why.

It wasn’t the washing machines in and of themselves. It was the absence of time spent doing things together. It was the absence of community.
Friends, we’ve gotten so independent.

We’re “fine” we tell ourselves even when in reality we’re depressed, we’re overwhelmed, we’re lonely, and we’re hurting. “We’re fine, we’re just too busy right now” we say when days, weeks, months, and years go by without connecting with friends. I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine. It’s so easy to say even when it’s not true.

We’ve become so isolated and it’s hard to know how to get back. It’s so hard to know how to even begin to build the kind of relationships our hearts need. And I think In our current culture, it’s just not as organic as it once was. It’s more work now.

Because you know, we have our own washing machines. We don’t depend on each other to do laundry, or cook dinner, or raise babies anymore. We don’t really depend on each other for much of anything if we’re being honest.
In Brene Brown’s book Braving the Wilderness, she says that being lonely effects the length of our life expectancy similar to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. I don’t say that to freak anyone out, but to let you know that the longing for connection is LEGIT. I think we’ve treated friendship like a luxury for far too long; friendship isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.

We don’t want it. We kind of need it.

Be independent. Be proud of it. But be an independent woman who realizes the value and the importance of opening the door to other good women.
You can do it alone, but you don’t have to. Islands are only fun for so long.
There is true magic when women come together and hold hands and share ideas and share stories and struggles and endless bowls of salsa. You use your gifts, and I’ll use mine, and then we’ll invite that girl over there who brings a completely different set of skills to the table we are building, and we’ll watch together as something miraculous unfold.
