爱火冷却时(之一)

Dec 14, 2023

你把起初的爱心丢弃了。(启示录2:4)

没有策划,但却发生。当浪漫遭遇现实,让位的通常是浪漫。起初,只是两只爱情鸟,在尘世间没有什么比他们彼此的幸福更重要的了。接着是小脚的啪嗒声,井然有序的世界被颠覆了。孩子们不会按我们的日程来生活。他们不能等,也等不了。当夫妻双方都得工作,有了两三个孩子,再加上按揭,浪漫似乎就变成了遥远的回忆。两个疲惫不堪的人不知道他们在哪里失去了浪漫的感觉,不知道它是否还能回来。有些人就接受了没有爱火的婚姻,有些人等到孩子成人后再寻找更火热浪漫的爱巢。然而,上帝给我们提供更令人兴奋的第三个选择。上帝的选择——尽一切所能去修复起初的爱心。(开篇经文是写给以弗所的教会的,但这个原则也适用于建立美好的婚姻。)因此,你要:一、重新审视你的观念。我们认为目前没有爱火的状态证明了浪漫的爱情已经消逝,梦想永远破灭了。那是因为我们把浪漫和爱混为一谈。浪漫把两个人带到一起,但是爱使他们彼此相守。彼此相爱的人在任何年龄、任何阶段都能重拾浪漫。二、明白爱火并没有熄灭,而是被“丢弃”了。“你把起初的爱心丢弃了。”(启示录2:4)它没有离开你,也没有熄灭。新的伴侣并不是解决方法。三、折回原路。你就会在丢弃了浪漫的地方找到它:因爱滋养不足,被排挤出去,因忽略对方,爱情严重缺氧,但没有熄灭。上帝创造婚姻。你跟祂谈,按照祂给你的指示去做,你的浪漫就会复活。
