Just go back to where you started.
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
I don’t know what you’re religious beliefs are but, I thought maybe you can help?
My husband and I are newlyweds. We are both Christians.
His work is very stressful and each night when he comes home he drops of exhaustion. We’re too new to get stuck with so much grind and responsibility. We want to start a family but I want to have fun first.
The other night he was so grumpy, and I took it personally.
I don’t want us to grow apart.
Newlywed and feeling a little lost.
Dear Lost:
Your husband is being a responsible partner. You need to be a supportive wife.
No matter what religion you are, a commitment to each other as husband, wife, or partner, is to be honored, respected and nurtured, doing everything possible to bring peace, joy, happiness and love to each other. This is what GOD intended.
Your husband is working his little heart out because he knows the responsibilities of planning for a family. Talk with your husband about your feelings and then listen to what he has to say. Address minor issues before they become mountains.
Let him know that you love him and would like to have more quality time together before you start a family.
Don’t offer huge opinions before you listen and understand what your husband is feeling and what he has to say.
Remember that life has it’s daily ups and downs and it’s not always easy. It is our charge to be generous with each other, loving and forgiving one another, even when we don’t think it’s deserved, – and even, if we would handle the situation differently than our mate would.
As a Christian you know that nothing takes the place of prayer, and the gifts prayer will bring to your life.
When you feel you’ve lost your way…just go back to where you started.
Mrs. Figgins
