These journaling prompts are meant to stimulate your own private conversations with yourself. Your answers are FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. This is meant to support, to help you deepen your engagement with the material for this week's module. I recommend you read the questions and write on any of them that resonate with you. Feel free to skip the ones that do not resonate with you.
Question 1 of 1
Journal about one of these, some of these, or all of these. Your choice. Remember the purpose of journaling is to writing on paper as a way to sort out the stuff that floats around in your head. Your journal is FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.
What compromises in your marriage have you been making? Which of the "gambles" have paid off? Which didn't (hint: usually there is resentment when it didn't pay off)? Does it help to think of them as a gamble?
Do you let yourself imagine these days? What fantasies/dreams/wishes are buried inside your "trying to be a grown up?"
What compromises-as-gambles has your spouse done?
What dreams has your partner dropped in favor of "being an adult?"
How might you like to change the "compromising" and "fantasy" part of your marriage?
