The Wrench Story

Apparently my husband didn't know how to buy a wrench. Hint: he actually did. One small habit and one tiny shift changed everything.

Here's What Really Happened

I genuinely thought I was helping.

I was convinced I was being helpful and choosing the best wrench.

He was gracious while I quietly communicated that I did not trust his judgment.

I managed the small things, and then the big things, until he had no room.

Why try when I already had everything handled? Our connection began fading.

I did not want to control him. I simply did not know I was doing it.

I learned the power of relinquishing inappropriate control. I let go, stepped back, and gave him room.

I changed my focus. I changed my response. I changed me.

He stepped up. He lit up. We reconnected.

Sometimes the greatest gift we can give someone is permission to do it their own way.

This is one of the six tiny shifts that changed Lisa's marriage.
