Everyday as I read online news and hear stories from friends on social networking sites such as facebook, twitter and others, I realized how many wounded hearts are out there waiting for somebody to reach out to them.
Some of my friends have common problems and it is such a joy on my part to lend a helping hand and ears to them. Most of those heartaches are exactly dealing with their relationships with their partners. And when I listened to them, I began to understand that at times the problem is with one’s pride. The pride takes over the love for each other.
When pride comes in, both partners can easily tend to forget how deeply they love each other. And the longer that the conflict is not taken cared of, the deeper the wound would be. And when both partners’ hearts are hardened that forgiveness can’t come in anymore, then other factors of the relationship will start to be affected. Things will become messy and emotions will flare up thus allowing the gap and conflict between them to intensify.
Hence I tried to extend my heart and hand to my friend by expressing to her that there should be genuine forgiveness on each of their hearts. Genuine in the sense that when one asks forgiveness, it should be coming fom the heart and not just mere words. Moreover, it should be coupled by deeds so that the remorse will also become visible through actions.
Finally to keep the flame growing and going in a relationship, prayer should also become its center. Consequenly other factors will just follow naturally when prayer comes in consistenly in the relationship. Let us help save marriages and let each day become a very special day for both husband and wife.
