You are working on yourself so you can improve yourself.

This in turn will make you a stronger person.

Which in turn will make you a stronger mother.

Which in turn has the ability of making you stronger for the relationship.

But you see its the first one that is the most important.

As all the relationships you have around you will improve.

You can detach and still enjoy conversations with your husband. You can plan family outings. You can do all those wonderful family things. But at the same time look to join some community groups with woman who are looking to work on improving themselves. Could be a church group or a community group. But make sure it is with women who have walked your steps and ones that are walking in your steps.

And take some time to have a hobby that is for yourself.

Such as running.

It is an amazing time for you. You know you have to improve yourself. So go about it with the determination and passion and skills that you have.

Overcome your doubts.

Your children will reap the benefits and you will be able to get to a point where you can engage in equal conversation about your marriage without any fear of loss. As you will know that no matter what. You are putting in the effort.





This is an amazing post!!!
