I have always battled with expressing myself to other especially my wife. I wrote this last year for her, I wasn't originally planning on sharing it, Its just that sometimes words need to be said. The words are real, the thought and emotion behind them are real. I think the greatest passage on love is found in the Bible, I don't think that you have to be a Christian to see the wisdom in this extract: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Lovve does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 4-7
I know that relationships are not easy and take a lot of work, If we try to live by these words above, I believe it makes a difference. It's always tempting to look to your partner or those close to you and suggest that they read and practice these words, if that happens we will have missed the point of the words. I believe the words were written for whoever reads them an then to lived to those around them.
This is something I need to focus on for myself. I should apply it unconditionally, and if I can achieve that then I understand and am living what believe.
