The ‘Broken Like Me’ Approach to Marriage”

Subscribe RSS

My wife is imperfect. She’s not always loving, and she says things we both regret later. Basically, she is broken. Just like I am broken.

There are places where she is more broken than I am. I could focus on those and feel superior. But there are places where I am more broken than her. And human nature being what it is, I have to work to focus on those.

For a number of years now, when Lori does or says something I don’t like, or fails to do something I think she should do, I remind myself that my dear wife is broken. JUST LIKE ME! It helps me gain perspective, and reminds me that I hurt and fail her all too often.

I suggest you embrace “Broken like me” as a way of life. It will make your marriage better, and should lower your blood pressure a bit.
