Boundaries of Love

Boundaries are the things that indicate or determine your limit and the extent you can go and remain right in your marriage/relationship.

Most people start their relationship with great infatuation, an overwhelming feeling of excitement, and due to the desire to keep the feeling going for as long as possible, they learn to bring themselves under control and be nice. As is usually the case within a short time maximum of about two years the excitement wears out.

This change is sometimes revealed with a shocking change in behaviour, and attitude. Words and reactions that should never be found among friends soon become the order of the day.

After awhile no one seems to know what their boundaries are in word, thoughts and actions.

In every marriage and relationship there should be boundaries not based on feelings or infatuation, but based on the Law of Love.

The love of God is the boundary of a happy and successful marriage/relationship. The boundaries are there as checks and balances to help you know, what is right and what should not be tolerated by both of you.

The boundaries are there to protect and preserve you as well as the beauty and joy of your marriage. It is your responsibility to know these and develop patterns that would help you to keep operating within them even when you are under intense pressure. When you step out of the boundary of love, acknowledge what you did as wrong and find your walk back in.

The boundaries are there for your good and happiness.

In your words, thoughts and actions your boundaries and limits are patience, kindness, unity, humility, courtesy, selflessness, gentleness, forgiveness, advertising strengths, and loyalty.

The other side of the boundary are off-limit, whenever you find yourself here you are wrong, there are no excuses, you might have a reason but it is never justified.

The boundaries are there to help you make the best of your marriage, you can’t always trust your feelings but you can be sure anytime you operate within the boundaries of God’s love you sow seeds that will help you have heaven on earth.

Examine your words, thoughts and actions, are they within love-boundaries? Test yourself when you face a challenge or are under pressure and begin to do what you need to do to function within the love of God no matter what.
