There are many times in my life where I just wanted to lay it all down, and just walk away. We all have been there. When our child screams out at you, when you are trying to discipline them, so they can learn right from wrong. When we make a wrong turn end up being late to an important meeting that you were not supposed to be late too. When we make a wrong turn in life and end up loosing out those relationships that meant so much too you. Even worse when your significant other does something that upsets you. You lash out on them and belittle them for they are supposed to be perfect when we are still so flawed.
Oh how many times I wanted to give up and walk away. Because it would just be so much easier to start a new. At least that is what the world is telling you. Think about yourself, you should be pleased first above all else. Whatever happened to the thought process of thinking about how our actions will affect those around us? Whatever happened to putting others needs first? Whatever happened to giving others second chances? Whatever happened to sitting down and thinking about the big picture before just giving it all up and walking away?
Will giving another a second chance harm you, depends on the situation. I am not in anyone else situation. The thing is we are all flawed and make our fair share of mistakes. The way I see it, it is only through God that any situation can be made clean and new. I am living proof of that, I made my fair share of mistakes.
I lied to my parents, I deceived my parents. I lied to my then current boyfriend. I left my then current boyfriend for another, he became my husband. We got married before we were even together for a year. Then a few months later we had our oldest.
We had many spats, at times it had nothing to do with our too fast marriage and birth of a child. It had everything to do with not working out with our past relationship issues. Bringing all this past relationship issues along with all the issues that come with being married and having children.
Children are wonderful oh boy can they be a pain. I love my children I would not trade them for anything. Yet they are very taxing, they are time consuming, they can even zap you of all your energy. At times we can let our children take everything out of us, that we have nothing left to give our husband or wives, but resentment. No one deserves to be treated horribly just because we are wore out from our children.
Instead try to thank them everyday, for even the littlest things. Give one another hugs and slight affectionate touches whenever possible. These little things can make a huge improvement. Just let go of the little things, and start appreciating your significant other for what they are rather than what we want them to be. Have a wonderful day with the ones you love.
