Welcome to Little Wifey!

I just want to welcome you to my blog! This is designed to be a place of information and discussion about marriages - ones about to start out, ones just starting out, ones that are thriving, ones that are troubled, ones that have ended. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I wanted to find a platform to help the struggling entity of marriage in our current society. I believe we don't have to settle for only 1 out of every 2 marriages surviving. If you will be willing to open up your mind and heart, together we can move marriages from surviving to thriving!

Foundation of Marriage

Good Monday morning to everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is ready for another week.

This week, I thought I would do a "series" called "Foundation of Marriage." The purpose is to cover some basic concepts to build your marriage upon. A marriage is a lot like a house, it needs a firm, solid foundation to then build a stable house that will weather the storms, time, and trials of life. Don't let anyone fool you - marriage is going to have it's trials, problems, difficulties, and hard times no matter how perfect of a match you and your spouse are. Giving yourself a firm foundation helps you to weather those experiences. My actual house burned down when I was 10 years old. It was devastating and so difficult, but you know what I think was so interesting? Even though the house was completely burned to the ground, the foundation remained. Marriage can be very similar - it may get burned to the ground, but that foundation will be there for you to rebuild upon.

So, what are these concepts then? There are 3 of them:
  1. Attitude
  2. No Escape Clause
  3. Fighting Fair
So join me this week for a discussion on "Foundation of Marriage!"
