Eleven years married. Eighteen years together.
There was a time when I didn't think we would make it. I already had one failed marriage. Was I about to have another? How embarrassing.
Yes, those were the thoughts I was having when my husband and I hit a rough patch. Most relationships hit a rough patch every now and then, but this one was pretty serious.
It involved my husband not wanting to be with me or even worse, be around me.
I was working non-stop in a driven energy to succeed at creating a successful business. In that process, all I could think about was my (our) success.
We loved each other, so the fact that we really weren't getting along much didn't really phase me.... until he cheated.
That's when sh*t became real. After one failed marriage, was I about to have another? Was I going to lose the very reason, (my WHY), I was working so hard to create a business for our future?
Yes, I was and here's why.
I was so busy DOING that I wasn't BEING my best self in the process. I wasn't focusing on my relationship. I was all business and no intimacy.
We were in trouble and I didn't even realize how serious the trouble was. We let each other down. We were in pain and we were stubborn about it too.
I'm sharing this with you to give you hope. What we did to rebuild our relationship is something I will forever be proud of.
I've made it the core foundation of my Success without Sacrifice program to High Performance Relationships.
You do not have to sacrifice your health, well-being, or relationships on your drive to great success in life.
