Marriage completely changes your personality — and it takes less than 2 years:

Researchers studied 169 newlywed heterosexual couples for 18 months to detect trends in their personality change after marriage.

Researchers observed five personality changes among married couples: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.

Commitment to marriage has a positive effect on the wives’ emotional stability. Research showed that wives became less anxious, depressed, and angry after marriage.

On the other hand, husbands become more conscientious, which means they become more dependable and responsible in marriage. In the study, both partners were found to be less open as time went on. This change reflects their acceptance of the routines of marriage.

The study showed that couples generally become less extroverted and restrict their social circle once they are married. While female-identifying partners are more agreeable in the start, researchers noted both partners become less patient and more disagreeable with each other as time passes.

One explanation for this is that once the courtship period is over, old habits can come back. These changes were unaffected by age and relationship length before marriage.

Cohabitation before marriage, initial marital satisfaction, or parenthood status also did not affect the changes in these 5 traits of a couple’s personality. This suggests that, to some degree, these changes are universal and unavoidable.

Psychologists believe that self-control and forgiveness are two important marital skills required for a successful marriage.

"Men often find themselves standing at the precipice of a woman's profound love, awed and intimidated by the vast depths of her devotion and the vibrant energy that flows from her very essence. It is as if they peer into an ocean of emotion, where waves of passion and tenderness intermingle, creating a landscape both intoxicating and daunting. Yet, beneath this fear lies an undeniable yearning, a longing to merge completely with the wild, untamed spirit of a woman's love. This desire, raw and intense, is a call to transcend their limitations, to embrace the very essence of life that a woman's love embodies.

In this dance of intimacy, a man must confront his own shadows, for only by outgrowing his fear can he fully engage with the transformative power of a woman's love-energy. It is a journey of courage, where vulnerability becomes strength and surrender leads to profound connection. When a man chooses to rise above his apprehensions, he discovers not only the beauty of a woman's essence but also the expansiveness of his own heart.

Such a man, who learns to navigate the depths of love without retreating, becomes worthy of the sacred offering that a woman's devotion represents. In committed intimacy, he finds not just a partner, but a mirror reflecting his own growth and potential. Together, they create a sacred space where love flourishes, where the wild and the devoted intertwine, forming a bond that transcends mere existence. In this union, they become co-creators of a life rich with meaning, passion, and spiritual fulfillment.

Thus, let men honor the depth of a woman's love, recognizing that within her lies not just the power to nurture, but the strength to awaken the deepest parts of themselves. For in the embrace of such love, they find not only their true selves but also the liberation that comes from honoring the wild energy of the feminine. It is here, in this sacred exchange, that the most profound transformations occur, illuminating the path toward a love that is both powerful and eternal."

***A QUEENS CHALLENGE & A KINGS CROWN***⁣

Patience, men. ⁣

Patience is a must...⁣
As a man, once you figure out your role with woman, you will realise how so much of it is about utilising your presence in order to assist and support her in regurgitating and untangling from all of the mishandling and abuse that has been placed upon her, before you - Past experiences which have barb-wired her heart and expression. Experiences that have stolen her sovereignty and attacked her nervous system.⁣


BEING there for her - is so much of how a man loves her; How he cares for her; How he waters the soil of her heart, so that new flowers can begin to bloom.⁣


As a man, my highest role with woman is to patiently and consistently show-up, as the unraveling continues. Proving to her my depth of consistent integral reliance, via my actions, & not just expecting her to trust me because I request it.⁣


She must test me, challenge me, poke me. Push up against me...in order to feel my strength, boundaries, and spine.⁣


Men, you must arrive at a place of being ok with this, and understanding the necessity behind it. Also, if she is testing you, it means she actually gives a f**k.⁣


If a woman is not putting up a challenge for you to demonstrate your male proficiency and trust-worthiness, it either means she is profoundly naive and would follow anybody anywhere...or, she doesnt care.⁣


Many men become butt-hurt when a woman challenges him, or admits she does not feel trust towards him. As if she is supposed to just blindly follow.⁣


She needs visceral evidence of your reliability, over a long-term period, and needs to observe how you handle a wide array of life situations. She needs to see your patterns.⁣


Does this man say one thing and do another thing? Does he shy away when his pe*******on and directness is required? Does he avoid bringing correction and clarification to situations which require it? Does he have a protective awareness over my wellbeing? Is he present with me? How does he react when s**t hits the fan?⁣


She needs to witness all of this. Only then, over time, can she come to truly trust you with her body, her heart, and her life.⁣


MAN IS BASICALLY A FARMER.⁣


A very common question I hear from men is "Chris, you are always speaking about roles. What is your role as a man with a woman?"⁣


Of course each man must clarify his own, as it may not look like mine. But allow me to share...⁣


- My role, is to be there in a way which supports her life, body & heart returning to something a little bit more magical and beautiful than before. Like a farmer, tilling the soil, committing to be there as the weeds are pulled, together. Re-planting an oasis inside of her, with cosmic seeds of precise love.⁣


Patience is one of the cornerstones of a great farmer. He need not rush the land. He simply needs to become more and more sensitive to her seasons, so that they can work alongside one another harmoniously, to bring about more beauty.⁣


PATIENCE.⁣


Men…patience is essential for her to be able to lean into deeply trusting your direction and what you stand for - In her being able to fully receive you, and what you have come here to bring.⁣


Patience is essential in figuring out how to be there long enough, in order to actually receive the gifts which she has for you. The POWERFUL gifts, which can only flood through once you have proved your ability to hold her steadily enough in love, in challenge, in life - to fully open. Without dropping her.⁣


She opens safely to conscious power.⁣


Without patience…you will never receive. You will only toss yourself away and continue to consume, wondering why you never feel complete.⁣


Simple...⁣


You are empty.⁣


She is unmet.⁣


There is something far more potent for you which exists on the other side of her heart.
If you are committed to staying still with her long enough, in love, through her seasons, you will begin to feel sense of what her wine truly tastes like(as will she), and how it has the ability to nourish both of your lives, and your Union, undeniably.⁣


There is a reason men these days are so disempowered and weak - He has become entirely uninterested in figuring out how to collect the crown she has for him, buried in her heart.⁣


The lesson is love. ⁣
The result is abundance.⁣

THE KIND OF LOVE YOU DESERVE

More than anything, we long to be seen.
To be held in a safe, non-judgmental, all-accepting presence, and be seen through loving eyes.

And being seen is what we fear the most.
More than death, we fear intimacy's piercing gaze.
And yearn for it all the same.

It takes such courage to show yourself!
To take off your mask, when you look and feel your worst to take off your mask (the one that was suffocating you anyway) and to say, "Look. Look. Here I am, world".

To let yourself be seen
before you're ready.

When you feel the most rotten, the most dirty, the most wretched and unloveable, the most unevolved, the most boring, the most confused and lonely and broken and sad and angry and hurt, to let yourself be seen there.
There, in that sore, shameful place.
Let light in.
Come out of hiding and invite someone into your 'private' world.
Let them witness the real, authentic you.
Before that pitiful defense called 'personality'.

Say, "Look. Look, friend. Here I am".

Take the risk of being loved!

The risk of being rejected, yes.
The risk of being shamed again, laughed at again, ridiculed again, maybe.
The risk of being seen as a failure. As sick, or broken, or ugly, or weak.
But the risk of being loved?

Yes. Take the risk today because life is short, and it's exhausting trying to repress your authentic self. Let yourself be witnessed in the raw. The vulnerable you. The you without protection, without answers, without expertise. The imperfect you.

Because the deepest shame is only healed in love's light.
And your flaws were always longing to be touched with an awareness so tender that it would birth entire universes to find itself.

And you can fall now into the arms of a loving friend.
Who will hold you.
Naked. Unprotected. Imperfect.

Loveable.
Just as you are.

This is the kind of love you deserve.
True human love which is also God's love.
The kind of love that bathes you in gentleness when you feel the most ashamed, the most frightened, the most lost.
When you feel the smallest.
A huge love that holds you.

Never settle for less.

- Jeff Foster ❤️
