Haven’t read part 1 yet? Click here to catch up!
In part 1 of my blog I discussed the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries within a marriage, to allow both partners to grow individually without having to sacrifice their independence. Part 2 will discuss another important aspect in remaining independent: Self love.
You won’t find your soulmate on this blog post but you might find them on Muzz - the world’s biggest Muslim dating and marriage app.
Whether you are married or not, self-love should always be a priority in your life. Loving and allowing someone to love us is merely impossible if we cannot love ourselves. How someone makes us feel can fall short to our expectations especially when we are not doing the work.
Lack of self-love and confidence puts a strain on relationships, especially a relationship as delicate as marriage. Over the years I’ve noticed that my own insecurities have led to misunderstandings, and unrealistic assumptions about how my husband feels about me. I’ve also experienced many friends and loved ones struggle because of how they see themselves.
