Back in August 2015 at the first Circle of Wives retreat we dissected the words to Erykah Badu's "Bag Lady."
We talked about how some of us carry around jealousy, hurt feelings, anger and distrust to name a few toxic emotions that tend to linger in our marriages. You may recognize some of these characteristics in your own life.
This is the baggage referenced in the song; weighing you down, preventing you from being able to fully give yourself to your husband. You know it and he knows that something is holding you back.
You thought marriage was the answer to eliminating those feelings, but really they were intensified. You may not be able to release the baggage on your own, but it is imperative that you release it.
Seek therapy.
Share with your husband.
Journal.
Talk with a close friend.
Do one or all of the above to begin your healing process so you can be 100% present in your marriage.
What baggage do you need to release today?
