Couples: Love Vs. Standard?!

How many times you were right in a conflict with your spouse or your partner?
How many times you had the right to stay angry and upset for his or her wrong doing?

See, many times we act as if we all righteous and standard holders of law. We forgot sometimes that our relationships of love are far more important than holding in the wrong person in the corner.
We tend to hold our standard to a higher level than our love. Instead of humbling ourselves in order to restore the relationship, we tend to stand higher looking down on our partners whom have sinned against us. We forget many times that our partners is in need of our love much more than our condemnation. We tend to disapprove their behavior and enlarge an attack on them or for the most part we act like the victims who have all rights to hold.

Have you questioned yourselves, what Jesus did in the same situation?

Did he stood up high pointing the fingers to our wrong doing? Instead, he thought that his relationship with us is far more important that just sitting and watching us living in our wrong doing. He humbled himself in order to pay off what we owe to standard and love us.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”. John 3:16
Do you realize that when you hold your rights more importantly than your love, you are not doing God’s work, yet you are doing the work of evil.
The evil hold us wrong in place; in captivity. But Jesus does it so differently, he frees us of any wrong doing by his love. Amazing way isn’t?

Jesus had all rights and power to stay mad and angry at us for our wrong doing. But with his love he freed us in order for us to become more like him (righteous as he is)
Instead of holding up standard vs love, how about holding a righteous love that is stronger than any wrong doing of a person needs. Love one another and hold your relationship up more importantly than any wrong doing of your partners.

Love Vs. Standard?! Choose carefully, becuase the one you choose could have a long affect on your relationship. The question insn't how many times you were right in a conflict with your spouse or your partner? It is, How many times you loved them when they were wrong?
