Lots of people go into relationships with unrealistic expectations. But in our dealings with those we love, we get to find out that they're just like us and everyone else in the sense that they're imperfect and may have very obvious short comings now and then. Hence, the need for tolerance.
Tolerance can be defined in several ways. It can be said to be the ability or willingness to cope with the existence of opinions or behaviours that one dislikes or disagrees with. Tolerance is coping with the fact that the other person may be totally different from you. When we talk of tolerance we're referring to
your capacity to bear with someone. It is what makes true love stand out from mere sweet words that many mistake for love.
A happy life stems out of quality relationships. When our relationships are blossoming, there's natural joy. As you know, it's good for people to dwell together in unity and harmony. For relationships to blossom and flourish, there has to be tolerance. Without it those you relate with will be unhappy and their unhappiness will ruin yours as well.
The Movies Generally Won't Teach You This
Tolerance plays a key role in any successful and long lasting relationship. Let's not be too quick to follow the stories of love from the movies we watch. Someone once said that she blames the movies she'd watched all her life for making her have very high expectations from love. What she meant was that the movies didn't show her the real thing to expect. You should not watch movies to learn how to live your life. That's a gross error.
Think of it: No hard feelings. Hollywood does have a high number of romantic films that suggest to us that in the end of the story, the couple lived happily ever after. But you and I know the truth is that the rate of divorce, infidelity and separation in that land and especially among those that act these movies, is both disturbing and alarming. The facts only portray the facade behind all the things they dramatize.
If they really knew the meaning of love why can't they live it out? All these go to show that what they claim to know is a hoax and those who live their lives based on the love models Hollywood recommend, are chasing the wind.
Lessons from Tolerance
Tolerance always reminds you to treat your spouse or partner just the way you would want to be treated, remembering they are just as imperfect as you yourself are in many ways. It is very major in having a successful and happy marriage relationship. In times of difficulties in a love union such as misunderstandings, strive and the like, tolerance is what makes the storms calm down.
When situations go out of control and it seems as though the very existence of the relationship is being threatened, tolerance can save the day. Where tolerance is actively in use, divorce is never an option. We cannot over emphasize how vital it is for marriages and relationships to have this as a core foundation stone. No relationship will amount to anything worth admiring and emulating without this gem of tolerance.
Tolerance make you encourage when you should have slammed condemnation and disapproval. Somehow, it regulates what you say. Where there's tolerance there's a lot of mercy being extended and one person covers up for the other rather than exposing their weaknesses.
Dear friend, when you make up your list of #WhatLoveReallyCosts remember that without tolerance we cannot even have true love. Allow this knowledge guide your choices and rekindle your commitment to your God-given spouse/partner. Tolerance is the ability to accommodate your spouse/partner's flaws or faults. Sometimes it's best you just ignore their flaws. But in all, gracefully help them work on these areas. Help and support them in a way that reflects and promotes unconditional love. Tolerance is that side of true love that is hardly spoken of but without it one has not even understood love.
