StopTrying to Change Him! Discover How Focusing on Your Growth Can Transform Your Marriage

November 22, 2024

Have you ever felt like you’re running in circles, doing everything you can to change your husband, yet nothing seems to work? 🙋‍♀️ If you’re nodding your head, you’re not alone! So many women come to me with this exact frustration—feeling tired, drained, and honestly a bit defeated. But here’s the good news: the path to a happier marriage isn’t through changing him; it’s through changing YOU!

Let’s face it, our relationships naturally bring out the best (and sometimes the not-so-best) in us. And when we hit those rough patches, it’s easy to think that the solution lies in tweaking or fixing our husbands. But here’s the truth: the only person we truly have the power to change is ourselves. The incredible part? When we start focusing on improving ourselves—our thoughts, our reactions, our hearts—it’s like a ripple effect that shifts the whole marriage.

Why Focusing on Your Growth Changes Everything?

When you pour into your own growth, something beautiful happens. You feel more confident, more at peace, and even more loving. Your husband will notice, and though he might not change overnight, he’ll be drawn to this new, refreshed version of you. Here are a few ways this focus on you brings life back into your marriage:

You Become Happier and More Confident

When you invest in personal growth, it builds a deep confidence and joy that overflows into your marriage. You become the kind of person who is magnetic and uplifting to be around. Your happiness becomes a gift you bring to your relationship.

You’ll Feel More Connected to God

By focusing on self-growth, you get the chance to deepen your faith. In trusting God’s plan for your marriage and leaning into your identity in Him, you’ll discover a peace that comes from knowing you’re on the right path.

You’ll Learn How to Respond Instead of React

Growth changes how we respond to challenges. You’ll find yourself equipped with the tools to respond thoughtfully rather than react emotionally. This simple shift often brings a new level of harmony and mutual respect.

Your Husband Will Respond to Your Changes

While the goal isn’t to change him, many husbands respond naturally when they see their wives growing and becoming happier and more fulfilled. Often, this gentle influence is all it takes to inspire him without a single nudge!

Practical Ways to Start Focusing on Your Growth

Wondering where to begin? Here are a few steps you can take to start making those internal changes that can transform your relationship:

  • Spend time each day in prayer or journaling – ask God to reveal any areas you can grow in and to give you the grace to be the wife He’s called you to be.
  • Focus on self-care – prioritize taking care of your physical, emotional, and spiritual health so you have energy and joy to bring into your marriage.
  • Challenge your thoughts – start noticing when your thoughts drift to frustrations about your husband and redirect them towards gratitude or something constructive about yourself.
