It's as if you've crawled inside my mind and are reciting my life to me in a way I can finally see, hear, comprehend. I, too, seek to grow and surround myself with people who are growing, nurturing and inspirational to me. But I have found myself in the garden of stagnation - engulfed by one in particular - and even the one feels engulfing - who says she wants to grow but doesn't reach (your submissive comment vehemently applies). Your insight and wisdom doesn't fall on deaf ears. Thank you for the inspiration to allow myself to grow and not be choked by the weeds. Sara,

Thank you. It’s as if you’ve crawled inside my mind and are reciting my life to me in a way I can finally see, hear, comprehend.

I enjoy your site. Like you, I sometimes have a hard time keeping my mouth shut around people engaged in disrespectful relationships. I know from experience that the solution to so much of their discord is so amazingly simple. It took very little change on my part to turn our stale marriage into an amazing marriage. Sometimes I just want to shout it to the world! But the reality is that it's just not worth it. Convincing women that they should be submissive to their husbands is not easy. You're right, they probably don't want to hear the truth anyway, just want to cry on your shoulder. But on the other hand, you know that if you could just get them to really listen to what you have to say, they could experience the happiness that you do. That's what makes it so tempting to speak out sometimes. What's a girl to do? Sara-

I understand having a bad day and I was even one of those people for a time who was frequently finding fault with Mac. It was a pattern that was set by my mom in the home I grew up in and it's taken some time to break. Of course, when you're a kid, you don't have the choice to just walk away. I've learned and am still learning to make better choices. I choose love and joy and peace and forgiveness and it's so much healthier. Good post.

I think that honesty in a dd relationship is crucial. It is the cornerstone of growth in a healthy relationship. I thrive surrounding myself with happy, honest and loving people. The few dd friends that I have are always encouraging and honest with me. They are good listeners, they are kind, and they care. We share more than the choice to live a dd lifestyle which strengthens our marriage. I am thankful to have a friendship with them. Your post reminds me of the importance of being careful in the many choices I make. I should strive everyday to be sure my choices encompass kindness, honesty and love. Ciao, I Gal Sara
