Hello,
I'm not married, nor am I a parent, but I felt this topic fit best in this category. It's about love; and I guess more specifically about God's love vs. the world's love.
I was in a relationship but we've been separated now for 7 months, and in this 7 months I have been saved and have been learning a lot about God, myself, life, and love... true love (God's love). In my relationship, I was pretty awful to my boyfriend, and I thank the Lord everyday for this "trial" I've been dealing with because it has helped me fix so many broken aspects of my life and I know it will someday help me greatly as a wife and mother. But there is something I just can't seem to figure out; something I've been pondering for quite a while.
I don't understand why or how people that say they love each other can treat each other so badly. I've witnessed so much negativity in my parents relationship and in my relationship, and in so many marriages today. We've all heard the stories of how we often treat strangers with more respect and more politely then we treat those we love.... I just can't seem to understand this.
It may seem a bit of a naive question. Or just another answer-less philosophical question. But I tend to be somewhat of a problem solver and I know there has to be some answer to this, or at least a solution. I guess I'm just basically looking for opinions and thoughts on the subject; and any biblical light to be shed onto it.
