Is this Why You Can’t Love Your Spouse Fully?
I got to know Nneka (not her real name) when she approached me for advice after one of our seminars. She asked me to give her advice on how to concentrate and love her husband without distractions.
I looked at her and asked her just one question, I said, what is distracting you from loving your husband fully. It turned out that there was not only one but many stuffs that were distracting her.
Her best tv show usually starts around the time her husband comes back from work, her mom keeps
telling her that she should not believe every word that her husband tells her, her ex-boyfriend keeps sending messages that he still loves her, her junior brother is jobless and her husband says he cannot help.
Too many distractions for her. As long as those distractions remained, Nneka could not fully give her love and attention to her husband.
What is distracting you from loving your spouse fully. What are those things that keep making you to hold back from giving yourself fully to your spouse.
Things or people become distractions if they tend to make you give part of your attention and fondness of heart that is solely reserved for your spouse to another person or thing.
You need to have zero tolerance for distractions in your marriage. Distractions are dangerous to any marriage. Distractions Will make you to start comparing your spouse to another. Distractions Will make you take your spouse for granted. Distractions will make you pick offence easily even when your spouse means well. Distractions will make you to stop being real and down to earth in your Marriage.
Distractions Will strip you of every control you have in your Marriage. Distractions Will rob you your Marriage. Before you realize what is happening,it's gone, your joy is gone, your motivation to keep going in your Marriage is gone, your willingness to make sacrifices is gone and your Marriage will also be gone.
Be like a craftsman who keeps cutting off unnecessary parts to build a masterpiece everyone will see and admire. Begin now to cut off those distractions that won't let you concentrate in loving your spouse. Cut of that man, that woman, that tv show, that activity, that affair and any other thing that demands you share part of the love that is supposed to be fully given to your spouse with them.
Your spouse deserves your total attention and loyalty. Don't share this attention and loyalty that is meant for only them with anybody. Your mother, your dad, your brother your sister or even your best friend has no share here. It's all about your spouse. Focus your attention fully on your spouse.
If you do this, you will one day look back and be proud of yourself, your Marriage and the person you have become in the process.
