In case you need this reminder today:

You are allowed to be in process. You are allowed to say, "I do not have all the answers yet, but I want to learn." You are allowed to be growing.

That is not failure.

That is humility.

And humility is often far stronger than we realize.

Sometimes we think confidence means having everything figured out before we take a step. But that's not real confidence at all.

Real confidence says, "I'm willing to learn." Real confidence says, "I don't know everything, but I'm going to move forward anyway." Real confidence says, "I may make mistakes, but I'm not going to let fear keep me stuck."

Because transformation requires confidence.

Not confidence that you'll do everything perfectly, but rather confidence that God can help you grow.

Remember: you are not starting from zero.

There have been times you loved your spouse well.

There have been moments that brought a smile to their face.

There are ways God has already grown you that you may have forgotten.

You are a good spouse who wants to get better.

Bravo to you. Seriously.

And if fear has been whispering that you shouldn't try unless you can do it perfectly, don't listen.

Perfection isn't the goal. Becoming more like Jesus is.

So take the next step. Ask the question. Receive the help. And move forward with confidence.

Love,

PPS - Here is what a recent Coaching Graduate had to say: "I have grown in patience and understanding that I must love my wife without any expectations. I have learned that the old way that I was attempting to change my wife was one of the main ways I was driving her away. Understanding that safety is not just about physical security but also her feeling safe emotionally."
