When Love Hurts

[wysija_form id=”1″]Love is one of the most celebrated phenomenon. As you watch movies, read books, listen to people talk, you are bound to come across one love story or the other. A good example is ‘Romeo and Juliet’ by Shakespeare. However, the part that often gets hidden or is often not talked about is the unconditional part of love – the aspect of love that involves commitment, sacrifice and loving your spouse, especially when they don’t ‘deserve’ it.

Any man can love a woman when she is all made up, when the smell of Coco Chanel oozes from her, with her flowing hair and ‘Cinderella’s slippers’ on, but how many men can love their wives when they gain body fat after two or three children, when they are ‘unloveable’ or when they make costly mistakes?

“Although true love is perfect, it is expressed by imperfect and flawed people who must choose to look beyond the imperfections or frailties of their spouses.” – Victor Akunna

Have you turned your heart away from your spouse? Have the challenges of trying to make ends meet drained your marriage of romance and passionate intimacy? Are you allowing past hurt to block the flow of love towards your spouse?

ACTION POINT: Do not wait for your spouse to ‘qualify’, choose to love your spouse against all odds.
