Marriage Is Prison - Demand More Freedom Written by Thomas Brakar
If you feel that there’s not enough freedom in your marriage, it’s a prison. It can be a good prison, though, and maybe you don’t want to break out. The alternative is to build your freedom from within the prison walls. With just a little work, you can gain as much freedom as you want or need. And you’ll find that marriage is no longer a prison. It’s home. Just think about this: What would YOU need to feel more free? Is it to go fishing in the spur of a moment? The list could go on and on. There are no end to the small things that limit our freedom, but only you know what’s important to you. Find out what it is and do something about it. How? I’ve learned that there is only one way to get something you want: Demand it. Don’t trust on anybody else to take care of your needs. But demanding it is not enough. That’s what children do. Adults take responsibility for their actions. So you’ve got to make sure that what you need is not too heavy on your family. Here is my three step plan to get what you want: 1. Clear space 2. Build trust 3. Demand it Take another look at the three step list and note one thing: The order is not rigid. You may start with demanding what you want, then work your way through trust and clearing space. No problem. In fact, sometimes that’s the best way. It’s often easier to clear space when everybody knows what you intend to put there. Else they may start to fill it with their own stuff. Good luck to you (in)mate! Thomas Brakar is the author/owner of Brakar.com a blog on Manliness and Living With a Woman. Thomas insists that it is possible for men to have a long term relationship without loosing their manhood. He enjoys silly things like manly cars, odd news and funny videos, and he finds great pleasure in arguments with people who flag stupid beliefs like "there are no genders" and "men can't commit". This article is part of a Ten Day Special where he looks at marriage as a prison and try to figure out how we can make prison life better.
