Something to mull on often said here, just a different way:
One member of a couple says (as if this is an excuse for leaving), "I love her, but I am no longer in love." Love is an action word, I want to say. When was the last time you "loved" her by your actions?
Love is not just a feeling. Love is a verb. We have control over what we do, not what we feel. Similarly, I only have control over what I do – not what my partner does.
If I do not like what is happening or how I feel,what can I do differently? As I behave differently, many times I get adifferent response. How many times do I take for granted those thoughtful actions or tasks a partner may complete? Do I say thank you? Do I show my appreciation? Do I care enough about my partner to do something they like,just as a love gift – not as a should?
Do I do these things without expecting something in return? If I expect something in return and do not get it, I will feel resentment, which is poison in a relationship. A gift is only a gift if it has no expectations attached. Riette Smith
