Loving him
Dear Lord, sometimes loving him is just so hard! Those times when I’m wondering why I’m in this relationship. Is love enough to keep this alive? How low will I let my codependency take me? On the other hand, isn’t he one of my very best teachers?
We were really fortunate when we found a counselor we both feel good about. (I do appreciate he’s a fairly willing participant in the counseling…even though it isn’t easy for him, he’s doing it. He gets big points for doing it!) The counselor has spoken about emotional bank accounts and recommended The Five Love Languages by Dr. Chapman. I’m finding being aware of my “love level” and my own love language is really helpful. Now I’m more aware of some of the things that are those “BIG points” so I can be clearer with my beloved about what I need/want – and how he can really win with me. I would love him to reciprocate! Too bad it doesn’t always work that way!

Not ready to go "gently in to that good night?" Me neither! We have too much to offer the world to go into hiding! And every day offers new opportunities to come out of hiding and shine our lights.
