Have you ever wondered how far you should go in showing love towards others? Let’s explore the boundaries of love and its impact on marriage.
As twisted as it sounds, there are some cheaters who take the whole idea of loving others to an extreme that was never intended. Although it’s easy to see when things go too far, have you ever considered how far you should go?
In the back of my mind, I’ve pondered the question of how far loving others should go. I’ve also wondered how this teaching lines up with sound marital practice.
Let me start off by saying that I think you are going too far when you invite the lover over to your home for a social purpose. They’ve already shown a total disregard for the boundaries of your marriage. Inviting them over is asking for trouble.
You can love them by choosing to restrain yourself from excessive violence or hunting them down. If they have encroached on your home after what they’ve done, those restraints may not be so restrained. Encroachment happens in many ways these days.
Setting boundaries is a good way of showing love. True love operates within boundaries. Those who talk of unbounded unconditional love are promoting a romantic notion rather than a workable reality.
Restraint is key. Instead of resorting to violence or seeking revenge, choose to love by exercising self-control.
Unconditional love sounds great, but let’s be realistic. Love operates within boundaries and respects the law, including the sacred vows of marriage.
Loving doesn’t mean being vulnerable or pleading with the cheater. It means holding them accountable while maintaining honesty and integrity.
Don’t let silence manipulate you. If your marriage is suffering, seek help through the “Affair Recovery Workshop” for healthy communication and intimacy.
Create a love that strengthens your marriage, avoiding the pitfalls that destroy relationships.
Get ready to keep it real and reclaim your love,
Jeff
