Broken Relationships
One of the most difficult parts of life we face as Paladins is our broken relationships. Over 70% of Paladin marriages don’t survive…
Critical aspects of healthy relationships are even more important in Paladin marriages…
- Involvement in each other’s passions. Keep in mind, we have been crafted and called for a specific purpose.. you cannot change this part of your spouse. Part of being a Paladin is our PASSION! Not the bad stuff, but the good stuff!
- RESPECT = LOVE… this is especially true with men. Paladins don’t need admiration and respect from the world.. this is a gross judgement! We need respect and admiration from those we love! We want to be your hero, for you to be proud of us, for you to at least respect this calling.
- Your undivided attention: Not 24/7 let’s be realistic. But when the time comes and you look into the eyes of those you love.. we need to be the center of your universe for even just a moment… If not, we continue to build up the self preservation coping mechanisms and isolation.
Only Paladins truly understand other Paladins… so expectations should be realistic and achievable. Don’t fix us…. just LOVE us!
