I’ll admit it. Today’s video took a little bit of courage to make, because I’m sharing something I’m not very proud of that happened between my husband and me.
The moment I said it, I regretted it!
I felt it was important to share it, however, because any relationship, no matter how good it is, has it’s ups and downs.
The key is knowing what to do when you slip!
So, as uncomfortable as this was to share, if it helps you to create more love and intimacy in your relationship – even after an argument – it’s worth it!
Remember: While our relationships aren’t “perfect,” they can still be great!
And, by the way, I’d love to hear from YOU!
If you have a question about love and communication that you’d like answered, send me an email (gladys@heartsdesireintl.com) or leave me a comment below, and I’ll make sure I personally respond to you!
LOVE YOU GLADYS! You are so special and committed to the work you do. Your willingness to share so vulnerably is so helpful for all of us! The biggest take away “its not a price I ever want to pay”—-Great question when we have the awareness in those “dip” moments!
1. Restore Integrity
2. Recommit
Those made it to my journal!
Thanks for this share!
You are so welcome, Tasha! And, I love you, too, girl! <3
Looks like you had some major takeaways! So glad you found the post helpful, and, please, let me know how you are using these takeaways in your life!
Hi Gladys,
Thanks for the share. Its really a good reminder for those in relationships to remember to always start again – not an easy feat!
I too recently said some things that weren’t loving towards my husband, as I was very hurt from how we went about the final house we decided to buy. There are some things he didn’t communicate to me that to me where important and for me would have changed how we went about the offer, even though being a RE Agent he knows more about the market than me and that I had given him the permission to give a number different and more than mine.
I did reach out the next morning as I wanted our day to start on a positive note. However, its always scary bse I wonder how the process has brought out a side of me, even I are surprised about.
However, if I feel I am wrong, yes I will allow my vulnerable to come through and I asked him to chat before he left for the day. Where I apologized. Not easy to admit wrong, but talking through it is much better than ‘wanting to be right’.
Thanks for your share, it helps to remind me that as you said ‘…expecting perfection in a relationship is unrealistic’
Best always & Blessings!!

Rachel, I so acknowledge you for having the courage and vulnerability to be willing to apologize to your husband. I have to agree, having love and intimacy with our partners is SO MUCH more valuable than being “right.” And, yes, while perfection in our relationships is an unrealistic goal, doing everything we can to have love, peace, and intimacy in our relationships is a great goal to have! <3 So glad the post was helpful!
