Ive been divorced for about two 1/2 years . I don’t wish this on anyone. If I would have known what I’ve learned about myself over the couple of years . I wouldn’t be divorced.
Let’s face it: relationships can be tough for us guys and this isn’t an excuse ,Society often tells us to be strong, to hold it all in, which can lead to anxiety and even functional depression. This pressure can create a wall between us and our significant others, making it hard to express what we really feel.
But when we do let our guards down and open our hearts, we love fiercely. That intensity can be a powerful force for good in our relationships. Here’s what i learned about harnessing that strength while tackling the challenges I've faced:
1. **Talk It Out**: Don’t shy away from honest and hard conversations. Share your feelings and fears. It’s a way to build trust and show your partner you’re committed.
*Question to consider: What fears or doubts have you been holding back that you could share with your partner? STAND IN YOUR TRUTH
2. **Own Your Emotions**: Recognize that feeling vulnerable isn’t a weakness; it’s part of being human big dawg. Embracing your emotions can lead to deeper connections. If you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to seek get help, we aren’t designed to carry boulders alone.
*Question to consider: How do you typically react when you feel vulnerable, and how can you change that reaction?
3. **Make It Fun**: Find activities you both enjoy. Whether it’s hitting the gym, watching games, or cooking together, these shared moments strengthen your bond and build camaraderie. I know for me I started finding things I enjoyed thinking she didn’t care.
*Question to consider: What shared interests or hobbies can you explore to spark more joy/excitement in your relationship?*
4. **Prioritize QUALITY Time**:That means it’s not always about you and what you like. Set aside time for just the two of you, free from distractions. This focus can spark intimacy and reinforce your friendship.
*Question to consider: How can you carve out more quality time in your busy schedule?*
5. **Stay Physically Connected*: Don’t underestimate the power of physical touch. Simple gestures like a hug or a hand on the small of the back can keep the spatk alive and deepen your connection.
*Question to consider: Are you consistent with physical affection, and how does it impact your relationship?*
these are just a few of my thoughts!
