If you don’t think you’re good enough for your husband, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s your fault or because of something that you’re doing. It could actually be the other way around. Marriage may be difficult. Marriages tend to fall into unhealthy habits. It’s easy for a couple to settle for an “acceptable” existence as husband and wife, especially when their children become more independent or even leave home, rather than building a life together that is a joyful, loving, and rewarding journey…together.

Make your relationship a priority! Take care of each other and don’t take each other for granted! Also, don’t become the CCO (Chief Criticism Officer) who is always criticizing your spouse for anything.

But what if you’re doing all you can to make things better for your spouse, but he still makes you feel inadequate rather than excited and inspired? Being in a relationship like that may be soul-crushing over time…for both you and the partner.

What if things have already gone wrong in your life? “I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in a relationship where nothing I do is ever good enough for my husband!” you think to yourself. What can you do if your spouse keeps telling you that you don’t measure up or that you’re insufficient as a wife and a woman? Or is it simply that he doesn’t care about you? Or, to put it another way, he makes you despise yourself. That’s terrible!

When our partner criticizes our food, our clothing, our bodies, or how we use our spare time, we take it personally. It’s OK to provide constructive criticism now and again. It is good to have an open, polite conversation with our partners about anything that is troubling them about us. That is also true when we must inform our spouse that we just do not approve of what he is doing. But that’s not the same as being made to feel insignificant as a human being regularly.
