1.We gave ourselves up to serve our husbands and children.	Now we know, we serve ourselves only.
2. We believed that by doing what we were asked to do by our partners, we would have a harmonious fulfilled live, instead we earned mistrust, jealousy and disrespect.	Now we know that equal respect is needed and we share chores. We know the importance of trust and respect for each other.

6. We committed to making a change, to stepping out of our comfort zone no matter how hard it would be because we knew without change, we would seize to exist	Now we know the importance of change and the thought of stepping out of our comfort zone does not fill us with anxiety anymore, on the contrary, we are welcoming change.
