Abuse Of Position


I frown in disgust and disapproval when I hear stories of husbands and wives that denies their spouses of sex and intimacy whenever they are angry with or wants to punish the spouse. It's such an abuse of position!

Your spouse's wellbeing and happiness should be your priority, because you are the custodian of his/her heart. Now, knowing you have power over your spouse and using the power to harm or make your spouse unhappy is horrible. It's manipulative, it's abusive, it's evil,  it's irresponsible,  it's a breach of trust, vow and covenant. It's wrong and totally unacceptable.

The victimized spouse is justified if he/she leaves the marriage. For being subjected to such treatments for a long period of time takes a toil on a person. I don't believe someone that truly loves his/her partner will intentionally cause pain. That is not love. We have to stop calling harmful and wicked acts love. We have to dissuade our hearts from excusing wrong deeds in the name of love.

Lets call a spade a spade. We have bastardized the word "Love" so much that most people have lost faith in it. Love is beautiful if it is true. And we have a duty to make our love true. If everyone will take responsibility for their love, I'm sure the world will be a better place. We'll have more true love in our lives.
But when we try to force others to love us by manipulating them, that is not love. And such deeds will not provoke love from your spouse. Instead, it will only provoke discord and distance.

Life is to be enjoyed and not to be endured!
