Habits for Your Happily Ever After

Sacrifice or Self-Expression: Finding the Balance in Love


Listen Later

How do you balance sacrifice and self-expression in your relationship?

In this shorter episode, we hear from a previous guest: Jean Hodges. Jean was my theatre teacher in high school and an all-around-life mentor. Here she talks about 2 attitudes she faced in her married life of almost 6 decades. I wanted to share this with you because the juxtaposition in these two ideas rang so deeply with my own life:

  1. First she says, “I had to become more of myself before I could join with another”
  2. Then, later in her life she says, “I needed to grieve the life I was leading on my own in order to join with another”
