What does this mean to you?


I can think of more examples than I would like to share about times when I have been unhappy in my marriage and blamed my husband for the feelings I felt. I thought for sure there was a direct correlation to what he would say or did and how I felt.

Then, one day we were having a discussion, a rather heated one, and he said to me, "you can't make me responsible for your happiness." I was blown by this statement until I sat down to think about what I heard him say. He was right! While I was happy to be with him, happy to be married, happy for the way he loved me. I still had the choice to be happy in spite of the challenging moments.

When you recognize your responsibility in your emotions, you allow yourself to make a choice in how you will respond to various situations around you. I guarantee your husband wants you to be happy, but if you are unhappy with any part of yourself, no matter what he does...you will still be unhappy. Today, make a new choice....HAPPINESS
