I really need to talk to you about something serious. It's been getting at me for a long long time now. I already talked to Jesus about it. But I spoke to Him so many many times about this issue. And I just keep on falling into the same old stinkin' hole.
I tend to believe that I don't do it for my husband. You know, my outward appearance. I don't get compliments from him. It really brakes my heart in pieces. I spoke to him about this. But it seems like he isn't the type of person that give compliments and if he does, then i know he only gives because I asked him, and that's not the same. What am I doing? Am I looking for something that he cannot fill. Is it only something Jesus can fill for me? Please help me Jesus!!!
I grew up in a home where I got allot of praise. I even think too much praise. Before I met Jesus I was very self scentered. But now I don't get any compliments and praise, or maybe just a little. Am I having withdrawal symptoms? Now all of a sudden if I don't get any, I hit rock bottom? What is wrong with me? I don't want to feel like this anymore!!
My self image was in great, even excellent shape before I knew Jesus. But the moment I became a reborn christian. My self image hit the ground and shattered. Could it be that it was like a drug to me? My parents kicked me out of the house for me excepting Jesus. And now I don't have that praise all the time. And I now expect it from my husband.
I'm really heart broken about this. I don't know what to do. Is the problem on my side or on his side? Do you think that I grew up in a environment where my outward appearance always got the praise and now I demand it from my husband?
Do you think I must just ignore it and pay more attention to his needs, or do you think I must write him a letter and tell him how I feel? Maybe I should go for counceling at our church. I'm desperate for help. I don't want the devil anywhere near our marriage.
I really feel stupid asking you for help. But I'm serious on this. I don't want a problem to grow in our marriage, I want to kill it while its still small.
