Episode 172 - The Art of Being Delighted

I got so many responses from my email "Wanting Things Is Good" that I decided to record a whole podcast episode just on this. Wanting, receiving, and what to do when we just aren't getting what we want from our husbands.

Receiving is vulnerable. That's why we get difficult. That's why we have criteria and standards. That's why we worry about being "too" happy. ("Will he expect something from me to pay him back for this if I make a big deal about it? But I'm too tired/overwhelmed/strung out to give to him! Let me play small and safe.").

We also have that tricky brain that seems to think that if we resist who he IS he might turn into who we think he SHOULD be. Very nice except one small detail: Hashem.

Okay, really big detail.

Hashem chose this husband for you. Yes, the husband you created in your brain is lovely, congratulations, but apparently he's the wrong guy. And when we're busy trying to be married to the guy we invented in our brain, we miss out on the most incredible thing: the guy standing in front of you, the one Hashem picked out for you.

Receiving is an art. It's a relationship art and a spiritual art. Today I invite you to art class.
