Have you ever felt so broken in marriage,that all you want to do is walk away?

Have you come to a place in marriage where you think that there is no “love lost” between the two of you?

Are you of the opinion that love has failed you?

These feelings happen to a vast majority of couples all over the world. The difference between couples who MAKE IT or FAIL is the ‘choices/actions’ they take at this crossroad:
– Do you look at the reality on ground, accept it as truth and walk away.
OR
– Do you look at the reality and make a conscious effort to identify areas that need work and begin to work at it.

Can I surprise you-
Hubby and I have been in this rot/place a few times. I remember one particular time, I actually believed that I couldn’t love my husband anymore. We had several discussions and came to a realization that we needed a break to rethink.

After few days we came back with a determination to make it work.

These are the few steps we took:
1) We went back to basics.
– Call each other frequently.
– Send love texts often.
– Appreciate one another’s efforts daily.
– Biweekly dating.
2) Find ways to laugh often together.
3) More sex time.
4) No procrastination – deal with issues as they present themselves.
5) Take the love commandment seriously
– “love is a conscious act; where you intentionally recognize that the neighbour you were instructed to love is first and foremost your spouse”.

The answer to this question is ‘YES’ – love can fail! Love the way you know it can fail but if you both are willing to take another leap of faith, you will find a deeper kind of love that is found only when one is broken and allows God to pour in His kind of love.
