He's passionate about what he feels in a very positive way. I am a woman and have been in the same situation. Instead of sitting down and writing what I felt, I chose to make rash decisions that weren't in my best interest. At times, we can't see the good in what someone else may be going through, but when you've grown and lived life, you'll see how therapeutic his actions really are. Also, if you read the post, you'll see that he had deep feelings for his spouse. I believe the post can be taken two ways. It's either a positive for some or a negative. And, it's one's own state of mind for which they choose. Another thing, a lot can be learned of a person by what they say and what words they use to say it. <BR/><BR/>May God grant you with the peace you seek. Continue to empower yourself through self discovery. <BR/><BR/>Cynthia D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35599229.post-43508721261891850402007-07-16T23:31:00.000-04:002007-07-16T23:31:00.000-04:00grow up, no one told you to marry the broad. as a ...grow up, no one told you to marry the broad. as a matter of fact, i bet alot of people warned you against it, right? you are spending more time whining about your bad decision instead of using positive energy to find a solution. this is a drain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35599229.post-31696801006249856692007-06-25T18:06:00.000-04:002007-06-25T18:06:00.000-04:00Hey & Wow! I read this blog and as a married woman...Hey & Wow! I read this blog and as a married woman it was energizing to receive a man's prospective on certain aspects of marriage & relationships. We definitely don’t get that very often. Your reflections cover a lot of ground, which is a good thing because it proved that you have really given this a lot of thought. I am definitely not a writer, but I wanted to comment mostly because this topic is near and dear to my heart. I agree with you wholeheartedly that the quest for peace is for the most part underrated, especially in marriage. I’ve been married for 7 years and in the relationship with my spouse for 15 years prior to the marriage, so I can relate to a lot of what you’ve stated. <BR/><BR/>I always sign off with "peace & love" and I am truly sincere about it, however so many people take the phrase for granted. You can visit almost anyone's MySpace pictures section and 9 times out of 10 you'll see that person (either alone or with a group of friends) throwing up the peace sign. I often wonder, what does it really mean to them? We get so caught up in the hustle of life, trying to achieve the dream and obtain all of the "stuff" the world has to offer and that’s not totally a bad thing, but so much of ourselves and what a lot of us really want (peace, love & happiness) gets sacrificed in the process. Life without peace is uncomfortable to say the least. Without acquiring peace, it is nearly impossible to truly enjoy our lives. Here's a quote from the Bible that pretty much sums up the pursuit of peace and gives an awesome description of what peace really is! (1 Peter 3:11) "Let him turn away from wickedness and shun it, and let him do right. Let him search for peace (harmony; undisturbedness from fears, agitating passions, and moral conflicts) and seek it eagerly." This verse suggests that we not only desire peaceful relations with God, but also with our fellowman, and with ourselves, and to actively seek after this peace! If we were to follow this Godly advice instead of being in pursuit of so much of this other stuff that consumes the world, not only would our marriages be restored, but individually, imagine the joy, the comfort and the freedom we would feel! Just envision being totally at rest in our everyday lives and feeling “undisturbed from fears!” Obtaining peace goes hand in hand with finding the true meaning of life. I'm an advocate. Forgive me if this is incomplete-again, I’m not so great with the technical part ;-)<BR/><BR/>Peace & Love Always,<BR/>"B"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35599229.post-63507530372205125982007-06-11T06:42:00.000-04:002007-06-11T06:42:00.000-04:00I enjoyed reading this insert.
