Is your husband being stubborn?
Maybe a little, but admit it - that’s something that you’re secretly attracted to.
His consistency and strength actually helps you feel safe and secure.
But what about if his stubbornness is leaving you feeling unheard?
You put up a wall.
You give him the silent treatment.
You give him the look. Yep, you know the one.
I’ll admit it. I’ve done those things more times than I can count.
But they just don’t work in making me feel heard.
He ends up feeling less respected, throwing up his hands, and stalking away.
Then I feel more unheard and disconnected to him than before.
Here’s the truth —
Closing down access to your heart might feel safe in the moment but it cuts you off from the intimacy you actually want with him.
What will actually help?
Let go of trying to control him and treat him like your man. Trust his leadership.
You can still share your feelings in a vulnerable way.
And when you do, watch him step up into a king posture ready to swoop in and slay the dragon.
He wants to protect, love and provide for you as his queen.
Let him deal with the consequences when he makes a confident decision about something.
He’s going to learn in his own way and grow in making wise decisions.
You get to stop telling him the “right way to do things” and watch him show up with more confidence.
It’s going to feel so good to relax into him as your capable man.
If you need support with putting this into practice, schedule a coaching call with me, and we'll work through it together.
