Today we are going to talk about being let down. Many of us have had the experience of being let down at some point in our life. I’m going to be speaking from the context of marriage. I want you to think of an instance where you felt let down because of your husband’s actions. A time where things did not go your way. An instance where an expectation was not met. A need unfulfilled. A desire not realized. Now hold on to that thought and feeling and let us take a journey to change our perspective on it. I want to introduce you to a perspective that doesn’t cause so much sadness and hurt and result in resentment between you and your husband. How do you handle being let down in ways that move you forward? Listen to learn how.
