Love and Commitment
March 17, 2012
You may be asking "What is missing in my marriage?". The main reason that you got married in the first place was to show your commitment to one another. Too often, couples find themselves in a place where they are holding to their commitment, because it is 'the right thing to do'. What has been lost is--love.
Our culture drives us to think about what is best for 'me'. If I am not getting what I want, then I will either fight for what is deserve, or withdrawl until I get the attention I seek. These strategies do not create an atmosphere of love. Instead, we are pushed into demands or obligations, and this is likely to grow frustration and/or resentment. Love needs to be something we GIVE, not take. Demanding love doesn't work, because it is hurtful and self-focussed. Changing our focus from ourselves to our spouse is very counter-cultural, but it does grow that atmosphere of love that you truly seek.
