Your husband, Not your child
Marriage can be tough, especially since we grow and mature at different rates and in different ways. When women are in our child-raising years, it can be so easy to begin to treat our husbands like they’re another one of our kids, even if we don’t want to. Recently a reader emailed me and asked how she can stop treating her husband like a child when she feels he continually behaves like one. Here are a few ideas that may help if you are struggling to respect or admire your husband at this phase of life. Please note that these ideas are intended for normal marriages that may be in a rut, not for abusive relationships.
