Don't Allow Your Childhood Baggage To Destroy Your Marriage

The Bride, on July 14, 2019 at 1:37 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 4
Due to my father's instability in my childhood, for years I carried around the baggage of not trusting men. As I moved into my marriage I let that go by trying to mend my relationship with my father and being transparent with my spouse.

As you go into your marriage, what childhood baggage are you letting go? How?

    I'm lucky enough to not have any. My fiance isn't so lucky. He's trying to let of his parents holding him to a different series of standards than his sisters, and creating competition. But because they're still doing it, its not easy.
    So far he's decided to be at peace with the younger sister winning all the competition as she takes it harder when she "loses". He'd rather see his sister comfortable than worry about his parents feelings of him. I think it's very thoughtful of him.

    Thankfully, my FH and I both overall grew up in healthy childhood homes.

    I'm glad he is able to let that baggage go and it can no longer hold him down.
