She is one of my very favorites ever since I started... Not only because she is so absolutely supportive, but because her words always give me something to live up to. <br /><br />As always, this is absolutely beautiful and shows the power struggle that (I imagine) plays a role in any marriage: how to be mom vs. how to be wife. Thank you, Galit, for this.mypixiebloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09135461083810124483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-59575235155060987002011-10-03T09:54:55.962-04:002011-10-03T09:54:55.962-04:00This is a lovely description of that struggle we f...This is a lovely description of that struggle we face between being the spouse and being the parent. I remember once reading about how important it was to team with the person on your own level - parent with parent, sibling with sibling. But I read that before becoming a mom!

There's that balance between "yourself" and "spouse" and "parent" and everything needs to even out, and everything will . . . but it's good to know that you're not the only person struggling with their own identity a little bit.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05805939293906938812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-16608475590073072412011-10-02T23:49:44.603-04:002011-10-02T23:49:44.603-04:00This is a terrible struggle.

Having children has strengthened our marriage in ways I never thought possible, but it's tested it in ways, too. <br /><br />I think it can be tough sometimes, because we love our children unconditionally without trying, while it is more of a choice to love our partners that way.angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974137283220034062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-45191551644637807792011-10-01T21:00:15.487-04:002011-10-01T21:00:15.487-04:00So true, Galit.
