Marriage Monday * Fighting My Insecurities!

As you know I am reading So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore.

I have had seasons of insecurity especially in my marriage. In Chapter 2 of the book I read a passage that really hit my heart and opened my eyes: "The insecure person also harbors unrealistic expectations about love and relationships. These expectations, for themselves and for others, are often unconscious. The insecure person creates a situation in which being disappointed and hurt in relationships is almost inevitable. Ironically, although insecure people are easily and frequently hurt, they are usually unaware of how they are unwitting accomplices in creating their own misery".

This describes me! I don't want to bring my insecurities into my marriage. It hurts my relationship with my husband. I really do need to lower my expectations of Philip and so I won't become disappointed when Philip doesn't meet my expectations and therefore letting my insecurities drown me. This is something I pray about daily, and this is my Marriage Monday
