How to Love Your Spouse Unconditionally
How to Love Your Spouse Unconditionally – by Christian Marriage / Youth Speaker, Dr. Raymond Force
Did you know that there is a way to fight for your marriage without fighting with one another? You might say, “How’s that?”. With unconditional love.
Though there are many ways to define unconditional love, here is my definition:
“Unconditional love is treating your spouse as if he or she is already everything you want them to be.”
Though this type of love does not come natural for us, I find that if you are going to fix your marital issues, you must start to love your spouse in an unconditional manner. Here’s why:
It is common for a spouse to feel distraught or disgusted by the other person’s shortcomings. Though these feelings are natural, it is vital that a husband or a wife not allow these negative feelings to cause them to love their spouse any less. If so, they will find that their lack of love will only cause the other person to act in an even less desirable manner than ever before (I call this the cycle of resentment and anger.).
Conversely, I find that when we love our spouses regardless of how we feel or even when they do not measure up to our expectations, they feel more motivated to make the changes that they should make. Not only that, but even if they do not necessarily become the man or the woman of our dreams, unconditional love will often cause them to act in a much more appropriate manner (Proverbs 15:1 and Proverbs 16:7).
