I now have a marvellous marriage but it wasn’t always this way. It was better labelled miserable. I was miserable, thinking that I was a wonderful wife but hubby was a hurtful husband. Thanks to God and some effort, our marriage turned around and so can yours. It was hard work and it started with one— Me! In your marriage that’s all it takes, one of you doing something different and making changes. Then the ripple effect not only impacts your spouse but also your family, your neighbourhood, then out to your community. Is it worth it you ask? Absolutely!
I recently ran Marvellous Marriages group coaching online for eight wives who are now embracing becoming wonderful wives, to influence their men to be happy husbands. A community has developed with the wives so that interaction, support and accountability are happening as a result. It’s mind blowing what God can do with some willing hearts. And already some of their husbands are noticing the difference.
Here are some of their testimonies:
‘I now see myself as the one that needs to change, not only my husband’ D
‘I am in charge of changing the atmosphere in my relationship. How I treat my husband has a direct impact on [its] quality – if I’m resentful and negative, this impacts his reaction to me. Practising empathy was great – it has helped me to be intentional—to be kind to my husband’ ES
‘Working on myself has definitely brought about a change in me, leading to a positive change in my marriage. The most important things I learned were to: look after myself, pray for my husband and marriage and always put God first. My husband has noticed the difference’ KL
‘Prayer changes everything...’ MC
‘The foundation of friendship in marriage has helped communication and conflict. I have decided to take an interest in what my husband is doing in his day, to build that friendship and will be accountable to my life coach Peta. Thank you so much Peta, I’ve learnt that we do have control over ourselves and how we behave and what we bring to the relationship, with power to change the atmosphere and speak life into our husbands and family.’ SH
‘Self-care was important for me to learn about and [then to] apply it...’ TA
‘Learning about keeping calm in the first three minutes of a conflict is important and something I’m going to try to do. I can affect change in my marriage.’ SS
I believe that God should be at the centre, to create a marvellous marriage. He is the one to listen to, allowing Him to teach us how to respect our husbands and can help any husband learn to to love their wives as they need to be loved. I know the application of this is challenging guys! I know you have a little problem with the enormity of what your wife expects from you. It seems to be insurmountable and too large to achieve.
For that reason I have written online coaching for you husband.
These Marvellous Marriages - Happy Husbands online group coaching sessions are based on cutting edge family research.
From it you can discover & understand:
· How your wife thinks;
· How to love her as she needs, so you can be loved as you need;
· How to communicate to be heard;
· Scientific research into divorce prevention;
· How to apologise so she can move on. [1]
Do you want a marvellous marriage? If you expected from day 1 of your marriage to be automatically happy, you might now be disappointed. I’m sorry about that but all is not lost. It will require effort on your part but it’s not impossible and absolutely doable.
Do something today, to change the atmosphere in your home and become a happy husband!
Love and Hugs,
Peta
