Marriage is often considered a bridge from a person’s youth into adulthood. It’s Phase 2 of a little thing called Life. For many couples, for many women, entering into a committed relationship often comes with a new found self confidence. Lexia, Melissa and Sabrina talk about how their marriages affected their view of themselves as women.

How do you rate your self confidence? What makes you feel confident and worthy? Did you feel better about yourself after you got married? If you’re not married yet, do you feel that you’ll be more confident after you get married? Do you believe that a person’s relationship status plays a major role in how they view themselves?

    Unlike Sabrina, I wasn’t one of those that was naturally self confident, and unfortunately this was due to the way I had been bought up. However, since I got married, my confidence levels have completely changed. I have gone in the space of a few years from a very very quiet young girl who was scared of social meetings to a confident outspoken young woman who loves meeting new people and going out (!). I’m not quite sure if this was partially due to just growing up (I married young) or whether it is wholly due to my husband believing in me, loving me, taking me as his equal and just giving me the confidence to better myself and grow. Either way, he had a huge role to play for which I am ever thankful.

    I don’t think marriage per say makes people more confident, but what makes people confident is living around people who believe in them, give them confidence, and let them grow. I hope that if people don’t find that through their parents, then they do through their spouses.

      Beautifully said. I totally agree. Your comments are also a great reminder that the people we surround ourselves with (family, friends, co-workers, and the mates we choose) is hugely important for the long-term benefit of who we are/become as people, women.
