What is your reputation with yourself? What you think of yourself determines in large measure what you will think of others.
“I sort of feel okay about me. Not good, not bad. Just okay,” said one husband.
“Well, then,” answered the wife. “What does that make me? Why did I marry just okay? I think I deserve A-plus.”
My interviews of sex offenders and persons debilitated by paraphilias, when sex is separated from love, indicate that one common thread unites all of these persons: They all have extremely low self-esteem. Sex becomes more important than people. They seem to treat others sexually as they feel about themselves. They become driven by a sexual compulsion for “it” rather than him or her. How you feel about yourself will predict to a great extent how you feel about your marriage and how your partner will feel about himself or herself.
