An ongoing battle in my marriage stems from my perception of myself; and sometimes vice versa. I know we're not the only couple like this, but somehow that doesn't help things does it?
This evening on msn.com there is an
article about how men love a woman's body even if they don't love it.
Christine M. Coppa writes, "Tall, short, plump or petite, one thing is universal—no matter what a woman’s shape, there’s a man out there who’ll appreciate it! To prove our point, listen to what these guys have to say, and feel your confidence soar… no matter what your body type."
She goes on to share the opinions of several men. One guy talks about his plus-size wife and how it is a "plus" in every sense of the word. I'm not condoning being overweight because there are health concerns when you become obese, however, I do think it is wonderful to know a man feels that way about his wife.
I know my husband thinks I'm attractive. But I dislike my appearance so much that when he compliments me I'm almost turned off. Why am I this way? If someone tells me I am hot or pretty or whatever, why do I cringe?
Well the article doesn't dabble in crazy wives who have low self-esteem, but it does have many super sweet opinions from several different men. To the girls they speak about, be sure to give them a little bit of loving tonight. =o)
