When your husband tells you he loves you, you look beautiful, and you look just perfect in that lighting- do you hear him? Do you believe him? Do you let that love in?
When Scott took these photos of me on our honeymoon, I felt embarrassed by his attention. I didn’t quite know what to do with it. He would say- you look so beautiful, sit right there, don’t move.
I felt awkward, and it was somewhat overwhelming.
He liked me far more than I liked myself at that time.
If I were to do it over, I would look at myself through his eyes. Try to see what he sees. Find the good in me for me.
You have to do the work of loving yourself before asking others to do that work for you.
You have to love yourself first, then any love you get from others is just the icing on the cake.
If you have confidence and strength in yourself, you will have a more confident and stronger marriage.
