Think about it: Would you want to be married to someone who’s boring?

For yourself

Not only does being unique help your marriage, but it also helps you. All those interests and hobbies you used to enjoy are still enjoyable. Yeah, you might leave an event or interest a little earlier to go home to get your kids in bed. And you might not be able to do things for yourself as often in between PTA meetings, either. But you’re still able to do them. Soon you’ll start to cherish this time to go out and be yourself.

You’ll find the fun you used to have is fun you can still have. You’ll feel refreshed and recharged afterwards, and you’ll find new things about yourself you never knew existed.

When you’re happier within yourself, you’re happier in your marriage. And your spouse is happier to see you happier.

Give yourself permission to be selfish in your marriage. Do things you want to do for the sake of being you. It will help you feel more like yourself again and help with your sanity. And, ironically, it will help your marriage, too!
