A few months ago, our motherhood program, iMOM, made a post on their iMOM 24/7/365 blog about journaling. A few weeks before that, the iMOM team received a note from a mom who wanted to pass along her story of how she and her husband saved their marriage through journaling. Below is her story. I thought it was a very creative way to open up the communication in a marriage and I wanted to share it with you today.
“After a difficult trial in our marriage – one that many couples would divorce over – we decided that divorce wasn’t an option, and began to rebuild our relationship. One of the most powerful things we have done is to start a journal for each other. We add entries to the journals whenever something in our relationship touches us. We share our most intimate feelings of love and gratitude. He has written about the joy he feels with the way I interact with our children. I have written about his thoughtfulness in planning special evenings for the two of us.
The journals have helped us focus on the positive and move through the hurt of the past. We now have a stronger connection than we had when we were first married. We are happy and grateful to have found a way to reignite the love that brought us together in the first place.”
You can read the entire post here.
I hope that this story has encouraged you and maybe even given you an idea on how to rebuild and save your marriage!
Until next time,
Mark
