Breaking Away From Parents

Recently, I have broken away from my parents.  This much overdue choice has resulted much in my husband’s contentment and peace.  I knew that something wasn’t right… I didn’t feel mature even though having gotten married.  My husband and I have been married in just over four years, and the grief I have put him through during that time where many of my actions and words had the underlying cause of not having broken away from my parents is regretful to me.

I have wanted to grow as a wife, learning to be a better helpmeet, and the goals and thoughts behind having my blog in existence has lead me to this point in the blog, journaling about learning to be a better helpmeet.

How I would describe the change in my life is that I was showing trust and accountability and allegiance to my parents before I called them and set boundaries.  I did not have encouragement from my parents with the marriage, and the boundaries I have set had to be strict.

It is my desire to learn about being a helpmeet more and more, and it is still my desire to encourage other wives who have similar desires.  I hope and pray for you that if you need to break away from your parents, that you would be able to do it very thoroughly.
