Hmmm… I just stumbled across this post and I know it is not coincidence that I did. Those filters? I have them. A loving and logical man? Have that, too….

Thank you.

L-O-V-E. A simply spelled word that is layered with self-imposed walls, mistrust and score-keeping. But I’m working on it…

Great post.

I am catching up after not reading closely/commenting last week, and I have to say that I do believe that, and I think it’s how we have been able to make our marriage work. I know without a doubt that I have value to Mike, that he would never have been able to do the things he has done without me challenging and supporting him. And he knows that I need his push and pull just as much. That doesn’t mean we have it all figured out, just that I do feel important in our relationship, and I think it has made all the difference.

Lovely post. Even though I am not married, my filter and oftentimes low opinion of myself has a negative impact on my relationships. I don’t feel so alone in this after reading this post! You were able to articulate this pattern of mine to the tee! Thanks for being so open…maybe we can grab coffee soon and catch up!

It is comforting to know so many of us struggle with the same things – those same feelings of unworthiness. After 43 years of marriage I still don’t have it all perfectly figured out. Too often I let self stand in the way of what I know to be true. I think I am a dreadfully slow learner (or just plain stubborn perhaps).
You have shared such precious wisdom. I know it is true.

Thankful God used you to send me a gentle reminder. I’ll be spending time contemplating your ideas after a teary talk last night. (Married 27 years, BIG move across the country, struggling with house, missing friends and two of my kids, forgetting we’re a team…)

I love learning Hebrew translations, thanks for sharing this one. It can make the Word so powerful. This is a beautiful reminder of role we play as a wife.

There is beauty in the dance of marriage, and so much value in the passing of time that brings a trust that stands firm.

Beautiful post.
