Reconciliation Does
Not Mean We Hide Our Emotions
Choosing to seek reconciliation does not mean that we hide our emotions.
Listen to a wife who suspects that her
husband is having an affair. "I feel very angry and hurt when I think
that you are seeing someone else. My
friends say that they have seen you with someone, but you say that is
not true. I'm confused. I want to believe you, but based upon the past, I
have a hard time believing.
At any rate, you know how strongly I feel about that. We can never get
back together while you are having an
affair. You will have to make that decision. In the meantime, I do not
want to be controlled by my anger.
I will try to treat you with dignity
and respect. I care about you very much. With God's help, I will
not spend my time attacking you." This wife is choosing the high road
of: honesty about her feelings
and beliefs, while also expressing a loving attitude toward her husband.
She is following the Biblical ideal.
