When she doesn’t think she is worth it.

in Good Marriage

© Promicro | Dreamstime.comI had one of you ask “What should I do when she doesn’t think she is worth it?”

This is all too common in a world where women are devalued, or valued only for how they look like or what they will “put out”.  If your bride really feels she is “worth it”, she is in the minority.

To really see herself as having value, your bride will need to see herself differently. You can’t force that to happen, but you can nudge her in the right way direction by what you say, and by what you do. Telling her she is important, beautiful, valuable, and so on is good. Do it over, and over and over. She has heard the opposite many, many times, and you will need to do a lot to counter that. Even more important than your words are your actions – your actions must show her that your words are telling her the truth. Show her she is valuable by asking, and listening to, her advice. Show her you see worth in her by putting her first often. Stand up for her, promote her, brag on her, and show her as much love in public as you show her in private.


As to the picture – if it doesn’t make you think “Johnny Lingo” see here, here, and finally here.

And this takes time. Sometimes many years. Because the person who who tells her she isn’t worth it the most, is herself.

One of you sent a link to a condensed version of the Johnny Lingo story.

And no, I’m not Mormon.
