Live With Love
Our children mean everything to us. We want
the very best the world has to offer for them. Our job is to nurture their
minds and bodies, to guide their souls. This is the job of every parent!
This was the job of your parents!
How we live our life, the decisions and choices we make affect both our parents
and our children. We were created in love; your children were created in
love. They deserve to live with love. So do you.
The ideal is to live with love from the other parent of your children. But
we must be realistic and admit that this is not always possible. In this
century, half of all marriages end in divorce. What about the other half?
Are we to assume that they are blissfully happy or have some of them decided
to stay married for the children sake? If you are among those that are staying
married for your children’s sake there are some thoughts you should
consider.
While staying married for the children’s sake is a noble idea in theory,
in practice you are probably doing more harm than good to both your children
and yourself. You need to ask yourself two vital questions. Is this the life
your parents want you to have? Is this the life you would wish on your son,
or on your daughter? Most likely the answer would be NO! Your parents most
certainly want you to be happy. If you are not happy, you certainly
wouldn’t wish this same life for your children.
You are showing your children that you don’t have the self-confidence
to demand happiness out of your own life. That it is all right to sacrifice
your happiness for someone else. Your children will follow your example.
They create an image for themselves from what they see their parents do.
You set the standards.
A better image to show your parents, your son, your daughter, is one of
self-worth. If your marriage is the cause of your unhappiness then you need
to do whatever necessary to repair the marriage. You must go to counseling
and do whatever it takes to make you happy. Even if that means you must get
a divorce. Staying and accepting a bad marriage as your lot in life just
creates an image of worthlessness. Divorce, if necessary, creates a standard
of self-confidence, strength and self-worth.
It’s your life. You can’t change the past; you will not be able
to relive your life. But you can change the present to control the future.
Your self-sacrificing will not improve your children’s lives and it
most certainly will not improve yours.
You want your son or daughter to be strong, self-confident adults with control
of their future. You want them to be happy. To do whatever is necessary to
achieve that happiness. That’s what your parent’s want for you.
Create an image for your children of “do what I DO.” You need to
set the example. By you taking care of yourself and showing them that you
care about yourself you will be teaching them to take care of and care about
themselves.
Create standards in your life that they can emulate, standards that you wish
for them.
Live with love for yourself.
