"Wives Night In" Getting Real About All Things Marriage From A Wife's Perspective

As women, we are trained to do everything and care for everybody else, not ourselves. Sometimes, we get so caught up in being a wife and a mom that we forget who we are outside of those. This makes re-adjusting to the ever-changing marriage and family dynamics very hard. But knowing what you want to do as a wife and a mom, what makes you happy, and giving each other grace is what makes all the difference. You are not going to support and love your family the best if you are sacrificing yourself heavily. Find your balance and reteach your children and husband who you are to show up as your best self.

No one remains the same. We all change in the marriage journey, and reintroducing ourselves can create emotional resentments at first, but it will keep us happier and help us be better wives and moms. Forcing ourselves to be the same even when we need change can be more detrimental. Since these changes are inevitable in marriage, all you can give to your partner is to be there for them and give them more grace to thrive. Understanding that it’s just a season, and each of us has our turns will help you keep things in perspective without being selfish when it’s not your turn. Marriage should be a partnership where we encourage and support one another to be better and a better version of ourselves. It should be a give and take, sacrifice, and full of accommodation and tolerance.

Join the conversation with Amye Grant and Markisha Williams as they share their marriage experience and how they navigate change and transition to provide you with tools that you can use to keep your marriage strong and bring back the intimacy.
