Me Jane, Me Doubting: Am I Enough?
Jane took care of herself. She stayed active, she stayed healthy, she even dressed up at times just for him. But Tarzan rarely seemed to notice.
She used to hear it often: “You look beautiful.” “I’m glad you’re mine.” “I love the way you…” Now, silence. Or worse, distracted eyes that looked past her.
So the questions began to grow:
Does he still find me attractive?
Does he still see me as more than a roommate?
Does he still want me—not just in duty, but in desire?
“Me Jane, Me Doubting.” It wasn’t about vanity. It was about being seen. Being wanted. Being cherished.
Doubt is one of the quietest enemies of marriage. It creeps in through neglect, distraction, comparison. It takes root when reassurance is absent.
The truth? Every spouse needs to hear, over and over again:
“You’re beautiful.”
“I’m glad you’re mine.”
“I desire you.”
These words don’t get old. They grow more vital with time.
Jane didn’t long for grand gestures—she longed for simple affirmation. She wanted to know she was still enough: enough for his eyes, enough for his arms, enough for his heart.
And here lies the choice for every Tarzan (and every Jane, too): to notice, to affirm, to pursue. To never assume your spouse “just knows.”
Because in marriage, doubt grows in silence—but it dies in the presence of intentional love.
Reflection / Takeaway:
Doubt grows in silence. Reassurance is oxygen in marriage. Compliments, affection, pursuit—these never expire.
Call-to-Action:
💬 Don’t assume your spouse “just knows.” Speak it. Show it. Pursue them as if they’re still the prize you once chased.
Jungle Laugh:
“Jane doubted if she was enough… until Tarzan tried to cook dinner and proved he definitely wasn’t enough in the kitchen!” 🍳😂
