The Royal Road of Serving
Others.
When I discovered the high road of serving my wife,
it was not long until she reciprocated. I found her doing little things
that I had requested in the past. She held my hand as we walked in public,
she smiled when I tried to make a joke, she touched me as she walked by my
desk.
Before long, our hostility was gone, and we began to
have positive feelings toward each other. I remember the first day I had
the thought, "Maybe I could love her again." For months, I had
not experienced feelings of love, but only pain, hurt, anger, hostility.
Now, all that seemed to be gone and it was replaced by warm feelings. I
found myself thinking that I wouldn't mind touching her again if I thought
she'd let me. I wasn't about to ask her, but I thought, "I wouldn't
mind if she wouldn't mind."
Romantic feelings were reborn and sexual intimacy,
which seemed so far away, had become reality. We had come full circle. We
were no longer enemies preaching at each other; we had become sensitive to
each other's desires. We had discovered the royal road of "serving
others.
