Editing A Woman's Emotions

Early in our marriage, my partner, Dennis, and I have been completely grabbed off guard by the emotions I started feeling. I remember the 1st time I was angry with Dennis. I had never felt angry with him the whole time we dated, were engaged, or in the initial days of our marriage.

I recall thinking, What do I do? Where do I go? Dennis has been chasing me to fix our conflict, and I was very confused that I went into the bathroom, close the door and thought, I can not get out of here. I'm stuck in this marriage.

I held the future of my marriage and my family in my hands.

We all know we are made in the image of God, but many of us don't understand our feelings are a important part of God's image produced within us. Women should be happy with who they are emotionally.

And this isn't easy, because lots of women are not prepared to count on or handle the difficult challenges that are a part of being a mother and wife. Each and every new season of life-early marriage, pregnancy, raising young children, and so on.-brings a whole new set of joys and difficulties, and several women are surprised by the level of their emotions.

As a woman experiences the many emotions in her day to day life, she should feel loved and acknowledged by her husband. We're made in the emotional image of God; we should not be fearful of those emotions once they happen.

After I confronted that early turmoil in my marriage, I made the decision my relationship, that has been an agreement I'd made to God, was too important not to work it out. So after stewing and thinking and praying, I left that bathroom. After some real communication, Dennis and I resolved the issue.

The next occasion you discover your emotions have you sense "stuck" in your marriage, don't stew in a bathroom. Speak it out. Resolve the conflict or be involved in some [http://www.dailystrength.org/people/4255067/journal/11032181 romantic weekend getaways] with your family good friends. Why? Simply because God created marriage to be a covenant relationship, a safe haven, where a husband and wife can work thru their feelings and glorify God in the process.
