DWELL WITH YOUR SPOUSE IN LOVE
Dad, when will my finger grow back? The young boy in pains asked as he looked sternly at his father.
The father feeling bad and dejected went outside without uttering a word. He went straight to his car to see what the boy had written earlier that made him hit him and mistakingly chopped off his thumb.
On the car was written ‘DAD YOU ARE THE BEST’ The man with tears in his eyes stood for a while not knowing what to do, went back into the room, held the boy tightly and kept saying ‘I’m sorry son, I didn’t see what you wrote initially, I was so concerned about you spoilingcar than caring for you.’
Interestingly, we experience the same in our relationship with our spouses. How do you respond when they say or do things you don’t understand?
The right thing to do is ask questions for clarity so you don’t act rashly and later regret your actions.
In most cases, people shout without minding how it affects their spouse. They may even get them injured in the process.
He/she might have truly and sincerely done wrong but your response will make a world of difference.
Before you act, always bear this in mind, no matter what the damage done on ‘things’, ‘PEOPLE ARE TO BE LOVED WHILE THINGS ARE TO BE USED.’ Don’t use people while you love things. That will be taking the wrong order.
Love your spouse genuinely, let their needs and concern be your priority.
