I’m looking for advice on ways to help change my outlook on my husbands decision to move us to his hometown. My husband and I have been married for 2 years and just had our first child. We live and work in the city, but definitely agree we want to raise our family in a small town and move to the country. We both grew up that way and want that for our kids. currently we are centrally located between our families. Mine is 2 hours south, his is 2 hours north. Before we were married, we discussed his desire to move back to his hometown to grow his client based business, plant roots, as well as fulfill his responsibilities to his family farm when the day comes that his dad can no longer. I truly love that about him. The plan was I would stay home with the kids and do freelance work as I have time which sounds great to me. I was reluctantly on board as it also means I’d be moving 4 hours from my family. Well fast forward to now that we have a baby I’m not looking forward to being farther away from my family. My husband is not willing to entertain the idea of staying put between our families. I find myself turning negative and combative every time he brings up moving. Any advice to help me change my outlook? I’ve been praying for both God to help my heart be more open, and for my husbands heart to be more understanding.
