Oh Sabrina, I can feel your heart coming through this comment. Of course I don’t know your unique situation, but I’d submit that laying down is never meant to mean being hurt or taken advantage of…but if laying down (even if it seems you are the one always doing it) is a way to love and heal than it heals both hearts regardless of who initiates it.
Much to think about.
Sending a hug.

I burst into tears reading this post. We were pregnant 3 months after marriage, too – with twins. So much of those 1st years we were locked in a battle on a steep cliff. I, too, believe that the key to any long term relationship is in the laying down. However, it seems to me that often there is one party in a relationship doing a lot of the laying down. A year after your original post, do you have any further insight or thoughts on the Big Horn Sheep method of Marriage Survival? Thank you for sharing. (I came here from SouleMama, I think.)

That is so very true. What a lovely metaphor. I have been in that situation so many times. This is the second text I read here and I’m thrilled with your writing! I still don’t have children but we have been planning. I will keep tuned with your beautiful and inspiring blog!
