Well dang. Idk how I missed this but boy, was it profound. This is exactly what I needed to read, Bethany! Remember when I said my word of the year was revival? It has a lot to do with this. And doing what I need to do for ME.
Hey Bethany! I just got married about a year ago and I think there's so much truth here. Each person should have their own lives/hobbies/friends that they hang out with to develop a more robust life and to bring that back into their marriage. That's how I feel, anyway. My wife and I spend every moment together because she's looking for work right now. I'm actually kind of looking forward to when she does get a job because I'm an introvert and I know that time apart makes the time together that much more special. I'm 100% convinced this is how things are. Anyway, I've subscribed. It's cool you're doing this tandem newsletter. I'm doing one with my Dad right now.
Hi, Thomas! Great to see you here. Thank you for the thoughts, and good luck to your wife on the job hunt. I will check out your letters back and forth with your dad -- what a cool project!
"What if, we put the work on the marriage “on hold” and focused first on getting right with ourselves?... What if we understand that to feel safe, valued, and freed in a relationship, we have to first find ourselves?" This really resonated. Especially that second sentence. I'm thinking I should've done that first before getting married or I wouldn't be divorced now. I was just as confused as Dave about that word "unmarried". I was thinking it was, like, an open marriage or Gwenyth and Chris Martin's version of "uncoupling." LOL

Hope you are embracing the journey of loving yourself, Ororo ❣️❣️❣️
Most definitely. Never dating or getting married ever again. :)
This is a wonderful thing to share, Bethany. Thank you! xo
