Saving Marriages With Unconditional Love
In the middle of a session the other day I had a
powerful realization. I was asked to think of a relationship I had
with something in the last week that in my mind was the ideal
relationship, and to think of what it was about that relationship
that made it ideal.
A number of men in the group thought of their
cars, tool sheds, families, workmates, old friends, even
relationships with objects such as their television remote,
recliner chair, or favorite pair of shoes. To each of these men,
these things felt comfortable, and simple. The relationships they
had with these people or objects was rewarding and easy to
maintain.
When my turn came to identify my ideal
relationship, I thought of my dog. My dog has very simple needs,
and it is the ultimate ego-boost for me when I get home at night
and I am greeted in such an enthusiastic fashion. I don’t know of
any others that greet me so enthusiastically night after night. No
matter how long I have been away from the house or no matter how my
day has been. I call this unconditional love.
So what is unconditional love?
Unconditional love is the type of love that
comes without conditions. It is the type of love that you have for
your partner when the romantic, hollywood-style love is gone. Once
the romantic love is gone you make the transition to "real" love.
Real love is love you have for your partner despite the knowledge
that they are not perfect. You know your partner has faults. You
know your partner is not perfect. You know your partner makes
mistakes sometimes, but that’s okay. You still love them. This is
unconditional love.
The same thing applies to you however in looking
at your partner’s faults. You acknowledge that you are the same.
You have faults. You are not perfect. You know you make mistakes
sometimes, but that’s okay. That’s called self-acceptance, and you
expect unconditional love to overcome the faults and imperfections
that people have.
So what do you get from this then? Should we all
go out and get dogs to teach us something about unconditional love?
Maybe there is a lesson to be learnt here. We all clutter our lives
with trials and tribulations, and there is the temptation to let
our issues rule our lives.
But if you are serious about saving your
marriage you need to put the clutter to one side and let your
unconditional love come through. It is okay to have faults and make
mistakes. And love will conquer them all.
Have a think about unconditional love and how
you can apply this realization to your relationship.
