We did it! At least we hope we figured it out. My husband works hard to try to support me and finds himself lacking but we may have found the solution.
We addressed his weakness-he doesn't have very many. He has a hard time with communication and dealing with emotion, which is exactly the support I need.
We acknowledged it, accepted it, and made a plan to succeed. He may never be good at his weakness-but he listens well and can ask for help. All he has to do is listen to find out what support I need and ask me for help if he doesn't know what it is or what to do. He feels confident now and has rescued conversations and disagreements already! I don't mind helping as long as he listens, and he is good at listening.
We found he was distracted by the stress of his weakness and he was unable to listen to me. Now he feels no stress about the weakness because he just has to listen and ask for help.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to have weaknesses become strong. This was a perfect example of how we can just listen and ask and the Savior can help us. It is an amazing double meaning!
