I have always been quite independent. My mom says my personality was naturally that way when I was young. However, growing up in the country with brothers I was also encouraged to be self-sufficient. I was taught being female did not mean I could do any less than my male counter parts. With those principles being instilled in me I turned out to be an independent gal who only asks for help when it is really needed. (So much so that in the first conversation that my mom had with Ryan, my now husband, she informed him that I was independent and he better be okay with that!)
Personally, I think being independent is a great quality to have. But there must be balance as well! We independent ladies have to know when to ask our husbands for help. Over the past few years in our marriage I have been learning the importance of asking for assistance. When I want to be that “I can do it all, conquer the world on my own” wife I remind myself of five reasons why I should ask my man for guidance.
One person can never do it all– Let’s be real. There will be a time that no matter how great of a planner and go getter you are life will throw something your way where you cannot handle it all on your own. And that is okay! Who better to let know that you cannot do it all than your husband, your best friend?!
