“Love your neighbor as yourself.” Ahh …the second part of the Great Commission. But what if you don’t love yourself, how are you suppose to love your neighbor? Especially if that neighbor doesn’t seem to “love” you back. Isn’t your spouse your closest neighbor? Do they love themselves, or do they mask their own fear of failure by withdrawing, shutting down, and alienating you? Do you feel rejected, unloved, and abandoned? Do you mask your own insecurities and hurts by task oriented projects, household chores, and super-human feats of responsibility? Then this Valentine’s Day give your spouse the gift of a new beginning. Recognizing the dance that has crept into the relationship and robbed you both of true connection can be the start of dramatic healing. 2 Cor. 5:19 instructs us in the “ministry of reconciliation.” EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy)” » works to restore and reconnect relationships. Couple Therapy » with willing partners is a true “gift” of the heart.
