I’ll admit it — for years, I thought I had the market cornered on wisdom. Okay… maybe not just a little wisdom. A lot of wisdom. The kind that comes with life experience, discernment, and a healthy dose of “I told you so.”
But lately, I’ve been noticing something humbling — my husband has been right. Not just once. Not just twice. About almost everything and everyone.
And I don’t mean “right” in that begrudging way we sometimes toss out to keep the peace. I mean… right-right.
So now, I’m learning to do something that isn’t always easy for women who think fast, move fast, and believe in her own instincts - and has had a history of never being wrong: I’m learning to check in and actually listen to my husband.
It’s not about losing my voice or ignoring my own instincts. It’s about honoring his role as my partner, protector, and leader. I’m realizing that listening to him is safety — for both of us. It’s like having my own in-house security guard. Why not listen and take advice from someone who actually loves me, has my best interest at heart, and is invested in my life.
And here’s the part I didn’t expect: it feels good. It feels safe.
It feels like what marriage is supposed to be — two people sharpening each other, growing together, and leaning into trust instead of pride.
So, this is me — becoming the wife who listens. The wife who checks in. The wife who can admit that sometimes, the man I married actually does know best.
And honestly? I’m starting to like it here.
