I stepped into the wife role in 2016 and married my best friend Tyler. Not understanding the full aspect of what the role of being a wife meant. I can boldly tell you that this role did not come easy for me. I’ll take you through what my life was like as a free willed and independent woman, and how those traits impacted my marriage. How my sexual abuse has and still impacts my intimacy with my husband. Learning mature ways of communicating with my husband my physical and emotional needs and understanding what his needs are also.
Then comes Motherhood, let’s be honest we love our children more than ourselves at times, which takes a toll on us physically and emotionally leaving us stressed and mentally exhausted only after realizing it too late. How am I going to raise my children to be respectful, loving and helpful. At what age do I start to teach them who the Lord is, and is attending church every Sunday enough? How do I educate my children in a way that doesn’t make them feel like I am a bible pusher? Is it okay to discipline my children and if so what does that look like? Am I living to be the example I need to set for my children and how am I measuring that without comparing to other parents standards.
