We search the planet for that very special person to love and create a life with. We are often hard pressed, at times in excruciating ways, to find the calibre of connection we seek. Yet despite the universe answering our call with the delivery of such love, how often do we manage to fight on behalf of our relationships?
Without warning a storm rolls in and there you are hollering in the face of the very love you swore you would die for. Against all odds you found each other, yet you allow unfounded accusations and hurtful verbal assailants to become the forces that divide you.
Of course we are going to disagree and be upset with one another. At times your ego will be bruised or your hurt will want to retaliate, but find the strength within yourself to leave out all the reacting that is divisive: incriminating each other, accusing, or simply being unfair or unkind.
Stand up for your love rather than for righteousness. Only you can protect the purity of your relationship when forces threaten to weaken your bond. If love isn’t handled with extreme care how will it survive?
On living up to yourself,
Carrie
