tips & tricks for growth
don’t allow the disrespect to slide
Feeling disrespected by your fiancé can be one of the most conflicting feelings ever. Part of you wants to believe the person you love truly loves and values you. On the other hand, it can be demoralizing and hurtful to marry someone you feel dismisses you or doesn’t appreciate you.
🚨 Not dealing with disrespect can make you feel less confident, less important, and downright angry. Trying to deal with the pain alone can make you respond to your future spouse in destructive ways. That’s why talking with your fiancé is the best medicine.
Talking about it can be oh-so hard—especially if you’ve experienced major or continual disrespect. But you can do it, and you can do it well. Here’s how to talk to your fiancé when you feel disrespected in your relationship.
don’t let stress become a killer
Are you overwhelmed with deadlines at work, school, the weekly to-do list, health concerns, drama on social media? Is stress taking a toll on your relationship? Do you find yourself taking out your stress on your significant other? If so, you’re not alone.
➡️ Stress, handled wrongly, hurts relationships. It’s a reality. Often it’s the small stressors that build up and do damage.
We all face daily stresses. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could use a magic wand and remove all the stress in our lives? The reality is we have to learn to manage stress, not let stress manage us.
Here’s how to tell if stress is impacting your relationship:
😰 Stressed out people are more withdrawn.
😰 Stressed out people see the worst in others.
😰 Stress leads to exhaustion.
😰 Stress makes us irritable.
😰 Stress causes us to put other things in front of our relationship.
