"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things." Phillipians 4:8
Unfortunately sometimes you have to go through some really hard times to realize what really matters and what doesn't.. I used to know a girl that would say you can't appreciate the good times until you have been through the hard times and after 25 years with my husband I know that's true..
Amen 🙏 Empathy conquers all. No matter what life throws at me Jesus remain the solid rock upon which I stand. Message quite enriching thanks for sharing God bless you all ❤️
My husband recently and suddenly decided to walk away from our family. What it boiled down to is he stopped viewing any and all interactions in our marriage through a generous lens. This was absolutely devastating to our marriage. This began for him three years ago. The lens that I viewed any negative interactions with him I placed blame or reason outside of him whereas he blamed me directly. So sad… especially for our children.

@@focusonthefamily oh wow thank you!!

How does invalidation and gaslighting fit into this framework. How long does one spouse tolerate emotional abuse in the name of love?
