We look forward to satisfying and stimulating our husbands emotionally, mentally and physically. Although we aren’t always tactful in knowing the right things to say and do, believe me, we aren’t happy when our husbands aren’t happy. Marriage also seems to bring out our competitive nature. Some of us get extremely jealous when another woman is sniffing around our territory. Yes, we become quite territorial, our man is our man and we recognize the effort we contributed to making the marriage work.
Occasionally we do feel the pressures that also surface from being in a marriage. It requires effort from us and sacrifices that aren’t always easy to make. There are times when our efforts seem unmatched by our mates and causes us frustration. Yes, women feel overwhelmed in our roles and our “me time” is often necessary.
A large majority of us are also proud of our marriage. We take pride in being able to brag on how well we care for our spouse. Those of us in our Word realize the value of submitting in marriage. We trust our husbands to guide, stand up for us and protect us.
Most women also look forward to sharing in their marriage. Whenever anything special happens, I immediately think of discussing it with my husband. Women enjoy having a confidant who knows us like no other. It is our most treasured friendship. Marriage reminds us that there must have been something special and consistent in our relationship to transport us from dating to marriage and we are usually grateful.
Marriage can be a blessing. It creates a space for us to fully open our hearts and receive all that comes from a healthy love . When it is done correctly, marriage can truly feel amazing.
BMWK wives, what does marriage feel like for you?

I wish I felt that way about marriage. I feel like we are decent roommates and he is a good babysitter for our daughter so I can finish my degree. But right now I’m not sad or mad about our situation maybe more just disappointed. I somewhat feel that our relationship in general has run its course. It’s more of a numb situation.
