Being changed

I am being changed from the inside by God. Yes, indeed, you heard right. I am moving away from the independent, irritable and critical person I have been for a really long time to really giving myself up to change. The change is happening in my marriage mostly. I am learning to depend on my husband, allow him to lead me, and to serve him...yup...serve him. The service comes from some serious love. I also seriously love my son, and for the most part I serve him too, just not in the same way. Basically I am learning to put my family before myself. And I have to say, I am actually feeling fulfilled, satisfied and content. Is this the place of women? Is it just good for me because I have a good husband and well behaved son?
