This week my heart has been heavy.\u00a0 I\u2019ve heard from three different women who have reached out to tell me that their marriages are ending.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nIt\u2019s heartbreaking for me to hear news like this.\u00a0 Marriage is such a sacred, precious union.\u00a0 When two people choose to join their lives because they love each other, they do it fully expecting the love that they feel for one another to grow stronger over the years.\u00a0 They do not get married hoping to hurt, disrespect, and kill the love they once felt for one another.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nI\u2019m the first one to admit that having a wonderful marriage takes work. It\u2019s a daily commitment to being my best self so that I can have the love, happiness, and peace in my marriage that envisioned when we first got married. It wasn\u2019t always like this for us. We went through rough patches, just like every other couple.\u00a0 There were times when I wondered if we\u2019d make it.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nI remember\u00a0noticing\u00a0<\/em>that things were changing between us. I remember asking myself where the love, passion and fun we used to share had gone.\u00a0 We were arguing more often, rarely having fun together, and I carried my resentment like a badge of honor.\u00a0 We were not hugging, kissing, or sleeping together as often and there were many nights when I cried myself to sleep.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nOur marriage didn\u2019t get to that point over night.\u00a0 There were signs along the way.\u00a0 Things had been getting bad for a while.\u00a0 And I silently prayed and hoped that things would change.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nOne day I decided I couldn\u2019t ignore what was happening any longer. I couldn\u2019t just keep hoping and praying that things would get better.\u00a0 I knew I had to do\u00a0something<\/em>\u00a0in order to transform who\u00a0I<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0was being so that I could help turn my marriage around.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nI began doing my inner work, sought out mentors and coaches who would help and hold me accountable, and began experiencing the inner shift that began having a very real effect on my marriage.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nIt took some work and it didn\u2019t happen overnight, but soon the constant arguing stopped.\u00a0 We were holding hands and smiling at each other again.\u00a0 We began laughing and kissing and making love again.\u00a0 My transformation helped transform my relationship and I began to see the man I\u2019d fallen in love with in a whole new light!\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nIf you\u2019re going through a difficult time in your marriage (or you know someone who is), don\u2019t ignore the signs. Don\u2019t pretend you don\u2019t see them, and certainly don\u2019t think that things are just magically going to get better on their own.\u00a0 They won\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n
