Slightly disconcerting to read that post and then see the ad for a luxury car underneath it. Unless He is going to form me a Jaguar and fill it up with gas!

One other thing… You will remember the hurts but you have to get over them and move on. Marriage is an act of changing and letting God change you. Don’t pray for God to change your mate until you ask Him to show you what you might need to change.

However, intimacy brings more and more choices in a deep relationship like marriage so I think that it would grow deeper every time you choose to love anyway, or forgive, or compromise, or ‘get over it,’ or come back and try again.

The only thing I am not factoring in is how hard our hearts can get when we’ve been hurt a great many times; or when we choose to love and love and the other party chooses to take and take. Then I am reminded of William Butler Yeats poem, Easter 1916 where he writes, “Too long a sacrifice makes a stone of the heart.” Then it’s up to God to miraculously enfold us in His love so we can choose to love again.

I think we are always tested in our love, D, in and out of marriage, because we think we understand it and it is so central to our lives. The Spirit really wants us to get it right.

Or @ least to know for sure before life test your relationship? Or is this the kind of love that grows deeper each time you chose?

]]> Comment on Love and Respect by Ben Kimball http://deeptodeep.com/2011/10/13/love-and-respect/#comment-201 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:01:23 +0000 http://deeptodeep.com/?p=508#comment-201 The “country songs” line cracked me up! :) Good post.

Other good books on the subject are “He”, “She”, and “We” (three separate books, each fairly slim) by Robert A. Johnson. Johnson is a Jungian scholar and uses mythology as his foil: “He” looks at Parsifal’s quest for the Grail, while “She” uses the story of Eros and Psyche. “We” examines Tristan and Iseult.

]]> Comment on Jealous by mom http://deeptodeep.com/2011/05/15/jealous/#comment-194 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 18:54:16 +0000 http://deeptodeep.com/?p=276#comment-194 God certainly wants more of us than we allow him. The problem with that is we are absoltely cheating ourselves. I get tired of all the church activites and often want to rebel… that’s me, rebel to the death (private joke). But, a day does not go by that I don’t have communication with God. It’s not always good, but, I pause and do listen for what my Father has to say and I don’t always like. I agree with one of the responses. I think few people get it… that is an honest relationship with our Father. A relationship is ongoing and from the heart. He is a jealous God. I, also have jealous tendencies. I don’t get to spend all the time I would like with my son. I love to talk with him, argue with him, love him and hug him… That’s what God wants for us… to love him, trust Him, Faith Him, Walk with Him and Live for Him. I love you Father and I love my son.

And its true… But remembered we prayed for God to give you the or lead you to that one. He did. He may have used me two or three times to get you there. You have a beautiful familym and I will spoil them as long as I can.
