Congratulations you are a wife. Welcome to the school where you are handed your certificate at the beginning of the journey and not at the end like others. For better for worse, till death do us part. I’m sure those words ring a bell as they are the Clichés that resound in most marriage celebrations.

Every woman looks forward to exchanging those vows and heads straight for how to keep your man immediately after tying the knot as they don’t want to lose the wifely feeling and all they just want to do is give their man the best. And until it is done, they keep putting all their best into their relationships.

Now, you are where you have always wanted to be but why does it seem the love you once felt for your mate is out of the window? Are you stressed or burned out with the burden of being a wife and mother amongst other things?

Sometimes we indeed get busy with trying to live up to our roles as we get drawn in different directions. We try to gain balance in them but it seems difficult to attain and you find yourself falling short in your wifely duties because you just feel your mate will understand.

Other times we may get engrossed in or even overtaken by our struggles that we forget the men in our lives. This is so true and I’m guilty of it too so you don’t have to beat yourself up.

As women, we are quick to scream and speak out at the slightest form of neglect and this means that in most cases that we tend to be more open than our men. This is where we need to be cautious especially if our men are not the very open type that expresses themselves easily.
