Mon mari (My Husband) and the helmet of salvation
Feb 18, 2024 Season 2 Episode 6
Rumbie

In today’s episode, using the example of Da’Naia Jackson, ex-wife of disgraced love guru Derrick Jaxn, and now a speaker in her own right, and our book for today, Mon Mari, by Maud Ventura, I examine what it means to love someone more than you love yourself. How does it affect you to give more than you are getting back, to throw yourself wholeheartedly into something that is only giving back the bare minimum?

As someone who has an ambivalent stance on love and marriage, eyeing the venerated institution with suspicion, I think I am often callous in my approach to the women  who do want this love,  but in this episode, I took the time to take off my comfy slippers, and put on the stiletto heels of a woman who wants to get and keep a man, the lover girl whose man is her world, and I found that perhaps, we have more in common than we realise.
