What’s So Good About A Depressed Wife?
Living with a depressed wife is difficult, painful and it borders on torture. No closeness, no fun, and lots of responsibility. You have to tend her needs almost 24/7 and so you have no time for yourself. You can go crazy.
But you love her or you think that it is better for the children not to leave, so you stay around.
This is all true. However, there is another side to being married to a depressed life that can actually enrich your life. Hard to believe? Read this article to learn what can be so good about being married to a depressed wife.
1. It forces you to be proactive and disciplined. Successful people in all areas are proactive and disciplined. Even the most talented people in the world don’t succeed in their field by just sitting around. This is true in sports, in business and even in the entertainment business.
A caring and supportive wife is not always a powerful catalyst for you to become proactive. She takes care of you, she cooks for you, and she sees to it that you are happy. This comfortable feeling might cause you to become lazy and passive.
On the other hand, if you are married to a depressed wife then you are forced to become engaged, active, and hard-working. If not you won’t survive. These traits become integrated in your personality and you can use them to succeed in business, developing your passions, or to become an active leader in your community.
2. It helps you be creative. We need some type of fun in life. Without it we would also become depressed and miserable. When you are fortunate to have a loving wife then you find that fun just being around her. This is wonderful. However, this also might stop you from developing your creativity in such areas as art, music, or writing.
However, when you are married to a depressed wife, though, you are forced you (as an act of self-preservation and survival) to develop some areas of “fun”. When you begin to develop these areas you will that wonderful and special feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment which you might not have gotten if your wife was healthier.
3. It helps you to be more spiritual and compassionate. When you live with an active and vibrant wife you spend a lot of time enjoying it and forgetting and neglecting your spiritual side. You also can become self centered; how “I” can have more fun and enjoy life better.
A depressed wife forces you to take a deeper look at the universe and your place in it. It also teaches and trains you to be compassionate (by tending to her needs).
I don’t wish that anybody’s wife will suffer from depression. It truly borders on torture. However, if you chose to stay in the marriage and if you chose to do something with your life, then there are many ways that you can use your situation to lead a very successful and fulfilling life.
