I used to have an ambivalent relationship with the word "wife."
Even though I had reached a point where it felt like SHE was calling me home, and I experienced such a deep dilation of my heart and womb whenever I felt into HER, there was another part of me that wanted to run far, far in the opposite direction.I wanted to be fully HIS, but I also wanted to be my "own woman."
I wanted to be cherished at that level, but I also wanted my freedom and independence.
I wanted to give myself to him completely, but I also wanted to make my love conditional and withhold my devotion.
I wanted to surrender to him with complete abandon, but I also wanted to remain in control.
It was an inner tug of war that lasted for longer than it needed to - and I believe it was because I had, what I would call the "wife wound."
I was carrying the belief that when I gave myself to my beloved completely...
That I would LOSE MYSELF TO HIM.
Check out my most recent podcast episode where I dive deep into what I mean by the "wife wound," and what lies on the other side of healing it.
If you're ready to heal your wife wound, and go on the journey of Holy WIFE-hood, then I would love for you to join us for my upcoming program, WIFE: An Initiation.
