Salaams and Good Morning !
Here is your daily dose of Wisdom for Living Your Best Self!
Today’s marriage hack is especially important for women: we women tend to bond over sharing our woes and life’s challenges. We believe that it brings us closer to others. And one of the challenges that we sometimes talk about and bond over, are the (perceived) failings and foibles of our
spouses.
Make no mistake: this habit (which we think is harmless fun) is destructive for our relationships. Our spouses do not think it is funny or cute when we are sharing their idiosyncrasies in public.
This habit is also destructive in another way. It normalizes low expectations from men and marriage, and it normalizes talking about our spouses in a disrespectful way. It is no wonder that modern society in general and young people in particular are so disenchanted with the institution of marriage.
So instead of complaining about your marriage or your spouse, try this hack: Try bragging a little. Compliment your spouse in public. Point out their positive qualities. Talk about what they are good at. Show enthusiasm for what makes them so special.
Don’t be surprised if after doing this a few times, you begin to realise how lucky you are to be married to this person!
And your spouse might also begin feeling the same way about you. . . . .
