Love Advice That Will Will Increase Your Love for Each Other Now!
What role does love play in a relationship anyway? I have often asked myself those questions and pondered what exactly they mean. Think about the word love and what it means. Love is a noun. It falls into the category of being a person place or thing. In this case, it is a thing. It is a feeling that you can feel inside. Love has been described as a warm feeling that you have towards someone or something. In addition, the love that you have for our parents is different than the love you have for a spouse or a one of your children. The love you have for a sibling is different than the love you have towards a close friend. In one sense love is a feeling of goodness that you have towards someone else. Depending upon who that person is will determine the type of love you have towards him or her. In addition to being a noun, love is also a verb. A verb is a word that demonstrates action. In this example to love means to have feelings of love or to perform acts that demonstrate love towards someone else. What would acts of love be? Acts of love are acts that are heart felt that are meant to lift, to add value, or demonstrate that you have love in your heart towards another. Typically, acts of love are performed in the spirit of doing so without any thought of compensation or expecting something in return. They are done because one person wants to lighten the other person’s burden. They are done so that one person can help the other feel better about themselves. Sometimes the person performing these acts of love sacrifices something of importance to them for the other person. It may be a sacrifice of time, money, or both. I remember hearing a story once of a family who had two small children. They had a boy and a girl. The boy was hurt in a terrible accident. The family had all gone to the hospital and learned the small boy was in dire need of a blood transfusion. They found out the young boy’s sister had the same blood type. The doctors asked the parents if they would be willing to let their daughter give blood to help save the life of their son. They agreed and spoke to their daughter. The parents explained that her brother needed blood and could die. They asked her if she would be willing to give some of her blood to save the life of her brother. She thought for a brief minute and then said she would. The doctors took the girl into the room where her unconscious brother lay. They had her had her lie down in a gurney next to her brother where they started to take blood from her and then gave it to her brother. They took what they needed and administered the life saving transfusion to him. The doctors started talking amongst themselves about how the boy would now live and how good that made them feel. Then out of the blue this little girl asked when she was now going to die. Everyone became quiet. This little girl had thought by giving her blood to save the life of her brother that she was going to die. The doctors explained to the child that she was not going to die, but everyone was touched that this small child was willing to give her life for her brother and actually thought she was going to die. It means being willing to sacrifice everything if need be for the betterment of the other person. It means sometimes foregoing what you may want in order to help your spouse reach their full potential. It means being willing to risk it all to ensure that your spouse is happy. It is doubtful that you may have to make a huge sacrifice for each other. The question is would you be willing to do so if called upon? Would you be willing to live on less if your wife wants to be a stay at home mom? Would you be willing to let your spouse’s niece or nephew come live with your family because his or her mother was tired of being a parent? Would you be willing to sacrifice your career because your spouse developed health problems and needed additional care? Would you be willing to help your spouse take care of an ailing parent? What would you be willing to sacrifice for your spouse? Take five minutes and reflect upon your feelings for your spouse and what you would be willing sacrifice if called upon? Do you love your spouse more than yourself or do you love yourself more than you love your spouse? Have A Great Story About This Topic?Do you have a great story or thoughts about this? Share it!
