Compassion stands out, and a relationship without it is drowning. When others hurt us, we usually shut down and give up. Feeling there is no hope or reason to take a solid stance. However, realizing this is the place to push through—a time to love through the pain. Giving up is not the answer to a commitment because someone may have a low point. A relationship with compassion allows one to calm down and express, “I’m still here; how can I help?”
A Commitment Made
Pushing through the hard times is the place of growth. Allowing oneself to show compassion and empathy to another person strengthens one’s character. A commitment made doesn’t consent to only the good times but the not-so-pleasant times, also. It becomes the glue needed to endure the unpleasant moments that will take place in any relationship. Even when you feel it is unbearable.
Compassion
It is taking time to find out what is wrong. Compassion discovers what has occurred or if a loved one is hurting somehow. When someone lashes out, there may be a greater need that has been unnoticed. Being there is a part of the commitment made when hurt. The inability to express oneself correctly is part of the challenge. However, be ready to teach and show kindness, gentleness, and meekness to help another. Showing compassion not only helps the one giving it. It emphasizes how love plays a part in a relationship even when those times seem more difficult than expected.
Showing compassion in marriage helps overcome the initial challenge of what is happening. The world becomes a place of darkness, misery, and pain without kind-heartedness. Giving oneself is freedom. Not because you have to but because you want to.
