I recently went through a spiritual awakening and I’ve changed a lot of things in my life for the better. The problem is my husband. He’s always making fun of the books that I read and my new found approach to living. He says I'm being weird. I love him very much and I wish he would try to understand how my enlightenment has made me a happier person. Any suggestions on how to get him to see things my way? Signed, Almost Content I would say to you, don’t bother. He’s not going to change. “A leopard doesn’t change its spots.” and “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” Enjoy your enlightenment and with time you will not care what he says or thinks. Signed, Unflappable Sometimes spouses get nervous about a mate seeking other interests. They fear that they will be left out or left behind. I would reassure my spouse that my spiritual awakening was not going to make me love him less. Signed, Rita E., NY I don’t think it’s a good idea to try and make anyone, especially a spouse, “see things my way”. Just keep setting the example by Embracing The Positive! He should be able to see how much happier you are. Signed, Debbie, Long Island No one likes change in their lives, especially husbands! I think you have to talk to your husband about how this awakening has been beneficial to you and how you would appreciate his trying to understand it. Give him time. He might just get into it himself. Signed, Noonbreak, CA I had the same situation with my husband. He thought I was crazy with the material I was reading (books on New Thought, Positive Thinking and even The Bible) and my daily prayers and meditations. Once he saw how I was attracting good things into my life, he did a major turn around and started reading my books, etc. Now our relationship is in total balance. Be patient. Signed, Been There Don’t expect your husband to get into your spiritual awakening. That’s why it’s “yours”. It’s not your job to choose your husband’s path. That’s his responsibility. Do what makes you feel happy and complete. Leave your husband out of it. Signed, C.C., VA Congratulations on your awakening. I am sorry your husband finds it to be a joke, but you must live your vision. If you are truthful to yourself, live your life, live your passions, your husband will either grow to be with the true you, or he will fall away. You cannot stifle your growth, it is not honest. Be yourself, grow, and if your husband doesn't notice or like the new you, he will move on. You won't have to get rid of him, consciousness will remove him. Keep everyone's highest good in mind, and then you must stay on the path of your evolution. If your life begins to change for the better and he is still resistant to change, there is little you can do. Signed, Robert You need to keep the focus on your enlightenment. Most people don't like change but prefer not to upset the status quo instead. Your husband is experiencing your change and as yet has not had the same spiritual shift. Continue on course and hopefully he will one day come to join you. You cannot force him to see things your way, you can only influence his choices by your example. Good luck in your journey. Signed, Denise, NY Hi. I need some advice and I was hoping that someone out there could help me. My married boss is dating my single girlfriend. My boss knows that I know about the affair. My problem is how do I face his wife (I know her fairly well)? Or even him? It has become a very uncomfortable situation. Don’t tell me to leave my job, I need it. Any help? Thanks. Signed, Patty G. |
