She was the good wife, always doing what was expected of her… a hot meal on the table, taking care of the kids almost single handedly while her husband worked the ranch, being his support system in everything he needed and expected. She was always there for him.

She was tired. She didn’t feel loved or respected. He didn’t treat her well and she kept it all inside… never telling a soul… there was no one she dared to confide in. She stayed silent to avoid rocking the boat and her body responded with pain, disease and discomfort.

Are you staying silent in your relationship to avoid disturbing the peace? Maybe you are afraid of making someone angry and you feel like speaking up isn’t worth the risk.

But, here’s the thing… when you keep quiet because you don’t want to have a difficult conversation, you are taking a risk! A risk to your health. You may notice your jaw is tight or your throat is constricted from biting back your words. It’s already settling in your body and you may feel pain and discomfort manifesting in other areas.

I dare you to take a different approach to those hard discussions—you know, the ones you would rather avoid at all costs! Please recognize, and this is important, that the exchange does not have to end up in a fight causing hurt feelings and it doesn’t need to escalate into WW3. 

Here is a 3-step challenge (Warning—this takes humility on your part. Be prayerful.):

1. Prepare your spouse/partner ahead of time by asking if there is a good time when you can sit down and talk. Let them know you have a problem that you need help with and that you would like their feedback.

2. Take full responsibility for your part and DO NOT place blame on the other person. This is a magic formula, because it makes it all about you, your needs and concerns. It invites compassion on both sides. 

3. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable and share your honest heart felt emotions. So many times, people react with anger, when what they are really feeling is a deep and profound sadness. Embrace and express that sadness. It’s exactly what you need to be heard and understood.

Prayerfully following these steps will turn a potential blow-up into a divine conversation that offers support and brings in compassion.

If you are ready, say the dose of enlightenment below to release the emotion ‘staying silent to avoid rocking the boat’.

With love,

Jeri
