LOVE IS NOT IRRITABLE ..DAY 6 OF THE LOVE DARE

LOVE IS HARD TO OFFEND AND QUICK TO FORGIVE . HOW EASILY DO YOU GET IRRIATED AND OFFENDED ? SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE MOTTO " NEVER PASS UP AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET'EM BACK " . WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG , THEY TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF IT BY EXPRESSING HOW HURT OR FRUSTRATED THEY ARE. BUT THIS IS NOT LOVE . TO BE IRRIABLE " MEANS ' TO BE NEAR THE POINT OF A KNIFE . NOT FAR FROM BEING POKED. PEOPLE WHO ARE IRRIABLE ARE LOCKED , LOADED AND READY TO OVERREACT. WHEN UNDER PRESSURE , LOVE DOESN'T TURN SOUR . MINOR PROBLEMS DON'T YIELD MAJOR REACTIONS . THE TRUTH IS , LOVE DOES NOT GET ANGRY OR UPSET UNLESS THERE'S A LEGITIMATE & JUST REASON . A LOVING HUSBAND WILL REMAIN CALM & PATIENCE , SHOWING MERCY AND RESTRAING HIS TEMPER . RAGE AND VIOLENCE ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION . A LOVING MATE ALSO IS NOT OVERLY SENSITIVE OR CRANKY , EXERCISES EMOTIONAL SELF - CONTROL . IF YOU ARE WALKING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOVE . YOU WILL BE A JOY , NOT A JERK . ASK YOURSELF , " AM A CALMING BREEZE OR A STORM WAITING TO HAPPEN?"

LIFE IS A MARATHON , NOT A SPRINT . THIS MEANS YOU MUST BALANCE THE STRESS AND FRUSTRATION , PRIORITIZE AND PACE YOURSELF . TOO OFTEN WE TROW CAUTION TO THE WIND & RUN FULL STEAM AHEAD , DOING WHAT FEELS RIGHT AT THE MOMENT . SOON WE ARE GASPING FOR AIR , WOUND UP IN KNOTS AND READY TO SNAP . THE INCREASING PRESSURE OF LIFE CAN WEAR AWAY AT OUR PATIENCE AND OUR RELATIONSHIP . THE KEY IS TO TAKE TIME AWAY FROM THE WORLD THIS STRATEGICALLY ALOOWS YOU TIME TO RECHARGE , REFOCUS AND ADD BREATHING ROOM .ESTABLISHING THESE KINDS OF EXTRA SPACES WILL PLACE CUSHIOUS BETWEEN YOU AND THE PRESSURES AROUND YOU , REDUCING THE STRESS THAT KEEPS SHOWING UP IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP .LOVE WILL LEAD YOU TO FORGIVE INSTEAD OF HOLDING A GRUGE . TO BE GRATEFUL INSTEAD OF NEEDY . TO BE CONTENT RATHER THAN RUSHING INTO MORE DEBT . LOVE ENCOURAGES YOU TO BE HAPPY WHEN SOMEONE ELES SUCCEEDS RATHER THAN LYING AWAKE AT NIGHT IN ENVY . LOVE SAYS " SHARE THE WEALTH " RATHER THAN " FIGHT FOR YOUR OWN " . IT REMINDS US TO PRIORITIZE OUR LOVED ONES AS BEING FIRST .
