In other words, what I'm saying to you is that nothing good in life comes without a price, as it were. Every true and lasting success is the result of certain things deliberately done and certain other things deliberately not done. No skyscraper just happens; it must be built. Things that last are built. I want to help you appreciate that there has to be some level of deep seated sacrifices if your relationship/marriage will succeed and last. Every precious thing has a cost.
In this series we will study what love and a truly beautiful successful marriage relationship will cost you. I'll say it to you the way it is and also help you give what is required of you. The good news is that you are more than capable of meeting the demand love places on you.
To begin, we will consider sacrifice. The place of sacrifice when speaking about love relationships can never be over-emphasized. It is what builds any long lasting relationship. Sacrifice in this context can be said to be voluntarily offering yourself and all you have to someone (who in this case is your partner or spouse), irrespective of how they receive it and/or are unwilling to return such gesture.
One remarkable characteristic that makes sacrifices what they truly are is that they could cost a whole lot in such a way that they could make the giver lose something priceless each time they give out to the one they love in the spirit of sacrifice. This is tightly so since a sacrifice is also defined as an act of giving up something valuable for the sake of something else regarded as more important or worthy.
More often than not, the one who gives is always happier doing so, because they find untold fulfilment in seeing their spouse happier. Another important thing to always remember about sacrifice is that when we speak about #WhatLoveReallyCosts, we need to see that sacrifice works best and achieves the greatest results when each spouse endeavours to always lay down their selfish desires for the betterment of the other. This is something both will come to teems with sooner or later if they want a union that would stay strong, sweet and fresh all their lives.
When the need to sacrifice one's pleasures, comfort and desires for the other spouse is absent, then be sure to have a relationship that is heading towards a breakup, a divorce or a miserable future. We know we have embraced the lifestyle of sacrifice when we make decisions with the interest of our partner, not just at heart but duly considered. This is one of the ways we prove that our love for them is unconditional.
We have to come to the point where we know fully well that what makes love true is a continuous culture of sacrifice. We quit insisting on having things our own way all in the bid to make love work. Believe it or not, in a sense, until people begin to see marriage as a house we enter into, lock the doors and throw the keys away, the rate of divorce would always spike. Unstable marriage situations that come from the absence of this consciousness lead to to dysfunctional homes and screwed up societies which in turn produce a chaotic nation.
So, before you let your feelings decide for you my dear single,, you should know #WhatLoveReallyCosts and that these are things money can't buy. In the first place, your feelings should not even decide for you. Make enlightened decisions. Know what love demands of you. Don't be mislead. Sign up to go all the way and with someone who has your mindset as well.
Now, to those already in love relationships, make the decision to let go and let love. You do this by choosing always to show love by the things you sacrifice for the happiness of your partner/spouse. You'll get to find that in doing this lies your own happiness too.
We'll continue in the next post.
Keep Loving, Keep Living...............LOVE ISSUES
