As someone who is just diving into religion, you do start to feel a little weird. I mean my whole life to this point, I’ve been on the edge of belief. The timing of everything definitely affects how I’m thinking about everything, but I am starting to understand that as weird as it feels, believing in God and Jesus has already done wonders for me in my relationship and my overall mood throughout he day.

We are now into our third and fourth week of coaching and at the same time in my third and fourth week of my religious journey. I still feel the same feeling in church, and I’m trying hard to selflessly love my wife and serve her when I can. Things are looking up already, but I know I still need a lot of help.

Merrill, our coach, does an excellent job translating male thoughts to female thoughts and vice-versa. Helping both of us understand what the other needs help with on an emotional scale. I’ve been doing things to help my wife ease her anxiety and her feeling overwhelmed, and in return, she’s also been showing me more affection and respect. Though make no mistake, we still bicker a bit and still slack, respectively, in serving each other, but compared to being at each other’s throats and almost divorcing weeks before it is definitely an improvement.
