Strong personalities can swallow us up.When we first got married our pastor told this to my husband.He told him to let me be me and he has.Its been a great twenty years.I have been able to develop into something different than just a role.Wife,mother,girlfriend are just titles.I am so glad I have a name.lol..:)

Trouvere,
Yes, I remember the first time after approx. 15 years that I actually heard my name "Rhonda", I had always been the kid's mother, the Pastor's wife, and it was refreshing to know I was still in there. As strong a person as I am thought to be...I have a tendency to wrap myself, physically, emotionally, and mentally, all around the man of my life and lose myself. I don't want to ever do that again. I want him to love me for who I am and not 'expect' me to be who he thinks I should be. Does this make sense? I think a strong, secure man, can do this and not be less of a man or think me less of a woman. Or am I dreaming?
Blessings, Rhoni
