I
Am Responsible For My Own Attitude.
I am responsible for my own attitude. My
spouse may treat me unkindly, or ignore me, but I am still responsible for
choosing my thoughts. The Christian challenge is to have a loving
attitude. The question is: What is the loving way for me to look at
this? Love always seeks the well being of the other person. This does not
mean that I am unconcerned about myself and meeting my needs, but my first
concern must be for my spouse.
This does not imply that I am to become a
doormat. That is not the loving thing to do. Accepting such behavior
is not loving my spouse. When you choose the attitude of love, you are
asking yourself: What is best for my spouse in this situation? Always that
means holding your spouse accountable for unacceptable behavior.
"I love you too much sit here and
allow you to destroy yourself. What you are doing is hurting me, but it is
also detrimental to your well-being and I will not be a part of it."
This is a loving attitude.
