Good morning JustUs,
Many letters be about breakups, but mine is about preparing for the future. I’ll give you some background. My husband and I got married in our early 20s. We are now in our early 30s. We have three beautiful boys and a great, loving marriage.
My husband is a great father and awesome husband, and the list of awesome qualities goes on and on. Although things are fabulous now, I live with one fear every day of my life: I’m scared of his potential midlife crisis.
I hear from so many women who, like me, were married young, and they tell me how their husbands woke up one morning and decided they wanted something different and had an affair. I’m scared that the same fate lies ahead for me simply because we were so young when we got married and also started a family right away.
So my question for you and your commenters is: What causes a man’s midlife crisis? Is it preventable? What can I do to make certain we grow old together? I’m OK if he buys a sports car or speed boat as a result of a midlife crisis, but an affair would be devastating! Is my worrying about it like creating a self-fulfilling prophecy? Does God talk about mid life crisis in the Word? Help! I feel I'm turning paranoid.
