Expectations in Marriage

First off I wanted to apologize for not getting my devotions up the last couple of days but with my husband being gone for the last two days, I wasn't able to focus much on my social media stuff. Now that he is home, I can start getting back to my (soon to be) routine of blogging.

First we are looking at expectations within marriages...

1) In what ways do your unmet expectations affect your attitude toward your husband? Toward God?

My unmet expectations cause my attitude to be extremely rude and disrespectful to my husband. I feel he doesn’t provide me the attention that I want. I want that man that wants to be in love and show love. I feel he is just there and that he is just my roommate because we hardly talk, touch, kiss, anything. I hate feeling like this and not having the intimacy with him in our conversation or in the bedroom. So many things are different now that we have kids and life has become stressful. My attitude with God, well I don’t know that I have an attitude but I certainly don’t confide in Him or open my heart to Him like I should.

2) Have you suffered silently in church? If so, what motivated you to hide your pain from others?

I have sat in church and went to church and put on that face of happiness even though I know in my heart that Daniel and I have just got done arguing or having an issue before walking in. I don’t like others to see my pain or frustration so I fake happiness. Especially around his family.

Take a look at these two questions and see what comes to you when you actually sit and think about them. I do have more questions but wanted to get you started with these  so you can see what to expect in future posts. I look forward to hearing from you and your thoughts or even advice on how you handle expectations within your marriage.

Have a blessed evening.
