A SIDE-EFFECT OF SURRENDERING: RESTORING YOUR DIGNITY
Nothing erodes your self-esteem like hearing yourself screech, yell and complain at the people you love. No matter how provoked you are, each unpleasant word out of your mouth makes you feel awful, as you hear yourself sounding like your mother on her worst day.
By contrast, when you follow the surrendered principles by sticking to expressing your feelings and desires, you avoid having a hostility hangover, as well as having to make apologies.
In this way, surrendering restores your dignity, as well as the intimacy in your marriage. As you make a habit of saying what you want and how you
feel instead of criticizing your husband, you slowly but surely become your best self.
