5 Phrases Every Wife Needs to Hear Often

Selena says, "we'll, that's how it should be." Selena, you are a very blessed woman. What you have is not common. It should be, yes, but it's something that is not easily found. I love how Ryan supports you. Wish I could have had that, especially while pregnant (and, yes, I am in a Christian marriage). The biggest one for me is "I'm grateful for you." Man, I work dang hard for free (SAHM), and it would sustain me to hear that.

Wow! Real talk about marriage...for people who want to go deeper. Some folks may say, "it can't be that simple..." well, just try communicating this stuff and watch what happens! BTW, celebrated 31 years married last week. Oh: to the same woman! 😉

That’s funny. This is the type of thing my wife and I have been working on, and I’ve come across your channel when this was posted 9 months ago. It must be a sign!! 😅 Love your guy’s energy too. In such a twisted world, your words and guidance are so refreshing and giving of hope.

I've been in an extremely neglectful and abusive (not physical) marriage for the past 8 out of 10 years. My husband has struggled with lust, drug addiction etc. I've developed anxiety/panic disorder because of the betrayal. I feel so much bitterness 😞 he has promised to change after I've told him I can't live like this anymore. This time seems different. He's becoming more involved in church and is helping around the house, more patient with the kids. But, I'm so scared that if I take that step to reconciliation that it will last a little while and he will go right back to his old behaviors and my heart will be broken beyond repair... our church pastors have reached out to him and he communicates with them regularly (which it wonderful!) but I feel so alone at church...I'm hurting but I can't talk about it with church leaders.

I absolutely understand where you are. I was in the exact same place a few years ago. Please get counseling for yourself. It is so important. I prayed for you. The book The Power of a Praying Wife is very helpful. I pray you are healed of all these hurts.

[@HomesteadingChicks]

I’m on the other side of this moment, further to the positive future outcome. If you both give it your whole-hearted try you can change the daily pattern. Do work on your own self and healing your heart! Let him do better and allow it to get better.

[@jaredhunt3234]

You didn't develop the 'disorder' because of someone else. You xeveloped it because you externally validate. Your disorder isn't his fault. The answer is working on you, not hoping he works on him, end of.

[@Ladylothlorian]

@@jaredhunt3234 that's OK. I've done my research and talked to countless women who have CPTSD caused by betrayal. I have and am working on my trauma. Thanks though!

[@piseth743]

I’m sorry for what you are going through. I pray that Jesus will empty you of the pain, anxiety and sadness you are experiencing and fill you with peace.

I feel like our well gas been poisoned by both of us. Because we continue to look back where things were done wrong that justifies our poor behaviour going forward. I’ve tried to do these things but my wife recently told me she doesn’t like my and won’t tell me she loves me unless pressed. I’ve backed off of telling her I love her and told her why that she has placed a bitterness into things suggesting divorce complete lack of affection. You can forget 15 second kisses. I feel her trying to get away or holding her own hands when we hug. No leaning into it. She’s not there. I’m detaching and I hate it because I know it’s wrong but she doesn’t want me for more than doing my obligations more and better than I currently do. I have given up working really hard not really full of motivation. I need all these same things as well and they aren’t there. My wife is duty full but doesn’t seem to love me. She is not great full for me she rather sees me as a mistake aside from our kids. That’s hard to build up. I desire a mutual love a group desire for a future together. My wife told me she hoped I had cheated when away for a week because then she would have a way out. These thingsleave me empty and lonely. I’m a very physical affectionate person but she sees it only as me trying to get for my self. Our relationship is transactional instead of an expression of love. It hurts to think about it but I do every night as I go to sleep. Alone. Ilove what we should be having. I’m jealous of her with others because I see the joy I married but it’s rarely there for me. She live in the memory of my hurting her which I did but then feels it’s right or justified to hurt my constantly because she that’s the bed I made years ago. So we go one together pretending I front of others but apartment alone behind separate doors where people can’t see. I Han say I love her I find her beautiful but not the way she is. And is harder and harder to love when I know it’s not reciprocal.
