What Do You Expect?
My wife and I have been married for five years and it has taken a painstaking majority of that time for us to settle into roles and responsibilities in which we can be content and successful. The reality is that my wife and I are two totally different people, who problem solve and manage situations differently. Because of this, we have found ourselves going through conflict while attempting to navigate roles and responsibilities within our marriage. We have invested much time and work in our relationship which has revealed that many of these conflicts are a result of an unspoken or unmet expectations. It’s incredible how much of an impact expectations can have on a relationship. I have developed three questions I ask myself which help me to regulate my relational expectations.

Grief is a monster. It all relates to a death. Physical, spiritual, emotional. A piece of you dies with each loss. A break up with a person you dated may carry the same weight for you as another person losing their partner to death. It all depends on what you’ve invested in that entity. It is incomprehensible… grief is. Unimaginable, unexplainable, perhaps even unbelievable… but not unresolvable.
