I had so many of you reach out to me and let me know that WE are NOT alone, that YOU TOO have been there or have already gone through Divorce and your experience.
I Honestly Appreciate Every Single one of you for taking time out of your Lives to Reach-out, Shower me with Love, Concern, Support, Friendship, and some of you Simply being a listening Ear when I Needed it.
For those of you who missed the First post you can find it here so you can be up to speed on what's been happening: https://sherinstark.blogspot.com/2017/04/this-is-worth-fighting-for.html
So to update Y'all, since my last post NO things have not been all Rainbows and Sunshine. But I Personally (Can't speak for Layne) Feel that things are Improving, Slowly but moving Up and Forward.
*I have noticed Layne makes a big effort to come home Happier (at least act like it) from work and spend more quality time with the kids.
*I have been more diligent in reading my scriptures and praying First thing in the day rather than later when I FIND time (often times it wouldn't happen if I put it off) and that's been helping me to feel the spirit in the home more.
*We have certainly been More united on the way we discipline and follow through with the kids (which we are getting a ton of Backlash from them, but that just shows we are doing it right and they are trying to keep pushing their bounds)
*He has been more Supportive of my Coaching business and we have talked more about what type of Job he would Enjoy and he has been applying and interviewing for positions
*We went on a Date night on Friday and it was nice to get away from LIFE (Stay off our phones, and NOT hear the kids bickering) and it just be some Chill time with each other.
*We have been less prone (still happens) to be offended by the TONE we use with each other, and clarify first before just thinking the other was saying it Rudely, etc...
SO are things Perfect, are we the Couple to Idolize, I wouldn't think so, BUT with GOD at the Front and US both willing to put in 100% I Know it's Gonna Just keep Getting better, until SOON (I Hope) we can look back and Think "Why did this seem like such a big hurdle, we Breezed over it."
If you are Still struggling in your Marriage Feeling ALONE, the Communication SUCKS, and YOU aren't sure where to Turn or What to do, REACH OUT TO ME. I would love to at least listen and share what has and hasn't worked for me if you would like to try them in your relationship.
So Often what we are going through seems like it's Impossible to Summit, but if we simply tweak a few things here and there, we can literally overcome it. Learn from it and Become Stronger because of it. Don't live in Misery, don't Victimize yourself, and Don't allow your Spouse to be Blamed for everything wrong in your marriage. (although sometimes NO matter what you do that spouse is unwilling to change and YOU do have to Walk away)
Hollywood has Painted Marriage to either be BLISSFUL or AWFUL, and that Cheating or Stepping out is not only acceptable it's Thrilling and Wonderful, and the one you Cheat with of course will be your Prince/Princess you have been Dreaming of.
Let me share a Secret with you WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MOVIES ISN'T REAL LIFE!
I am Happy to Sum this up by saying, MY mind is Happier just in the past 10 days than it's been in over a Year as far as me Feeling and Seeing HOPE in our Marriage.
