Summary
Have you been hurt? Have you been disappointed?
By your spouse. By those you love. By God.
I think the answer has to be yes. Disappointment is part of the human experience.
Jesus was disappointed and hurt by those he loved. But he somehow put his disappointments in a category where it didn't slow down His mission to do God's will.
In this episode, I share how I felt disappointed by my husband and went about things the wrong way.
And I share what I should have done (for your benefit :)
Yes, I'll share how to motivate your spouse to do what you want, but more importantly what to do if they don't. It's a perspective shift that's required if you're going to have a healthy and happy marriage.
But also I share how to have less disappointments and be less hurt by your spouse.
If you've been disappointed by God, I want to speak to that as well.
Especially as this pandemic is taking it's toll on so many in so many different ways, we can easily get disappointed at God. How could he do this? How could He allow this?
How does He not stop this? I want to speak to this.
I aim to comfort you and help you process your disappointments and give you a road map of how to have a much better sense of control when you are seeking to heal things with your spouse.
Love & blessings,
Belah

| 0:21.5 | Hi there. Welcome. This is Bella Rose, and I'm really grateful that you are joining me. |
| 0:27.3 | It has been a little while since we have talked, and I want to just apologize that I have not been |
| 0:33.8 | able to put out a podcast regularly over the last few weeks. I've been putting out a lot of |
| 0:40.0 | content, but for my clients, for my students. So anyway, I'm really aiming to get better at this. |
| 0:50.5 | So this is, yeah, this is the plan to get back on track to regularities. |
| 0:56.7 | So thank you for joining today. |
| 1:00.8 | So here is what I want to talk about is disappointment, expectations, and boundaries. |
| 1:19.4 | So what I think it is is that a lot of people have expectations in their marriage that go unmet and then they get disappointed. And they're hurt and the cycle continues and continues. |
| 1:31.2 | And so what I want to do is give you a roadmap for how to deal with disappointments, |
| 1:37.2 | with yourself, with God, with your spouse, with other people, and the key to that is boundaries. So I'm going to start out |
| 1:47.5 | with a silly story. Depending on where you are in the world, you may be in lockdown. For us in New York |
| 1:56.6 | City, we have been locked down for four months and starting, I guess, middle of March. |
| 2:03.4 | So that means that just, you know, no close physical contact with people aside from, you know, |
| 2:12.4 | wearing our masks in the park. But we're just not doing that a whole lot because we're really |
| 2:17.4 | focused on social |
| 2:18.7 | distancing. So that's where we are in all of this, but kind of hilariously, in our own |
| 2:27.8 | apartment, we live in a one bedroom in New York, but we have two children. So what we did was we actually built a room inside the apartment |
| 2:37.3 | for our boys, which is enough space for their bunk bed and, you know, a few things here and there. |
| 2:46.2 | But it comes out of the living room and then the living room area is still, you know, a good, |
| 2:51.7 | good amount of space for them to play and all that stuff. So yeah, so hilariously during COVID, |
| 2:58.9 | we have had kind of a crisis situation in our apartment, which has allowed, which has required |
