Your Question:
can i still be a good partner when i'm struggling with my own pain?
Answer:
I can relate to the pain and struggles mentioned in the passage. As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle with their own pain and how it affects their relationships. My wife, Susan, and I have been married for 19 years, and we've had our own share of hardships. But we've learned that it's in those tough times that we can grow closer to each other and to God. When I'm struggling with my own pain, I try to remember the goal of our marriage: to love and serve each other, even when it's hard. I remind myself that happiness is not the ultimate goal, but rather growing in love, patience, and kindness. I try to put aside my own selfishness and focus on being a good partner to Susan, even when it's difficult. I pray and seek God's guidance, and I try to trust that He can restore what has been hurt or damaged in our relationship. It's not always easy, and there are times when I feel like giving up or withdrawing into my own pain. But I've learned that it's in those moments that I need to choose to love and serve Susan, even when it's hard. I need to trust that God can bring healing and restoration to our relationship, and that He can help me to grow in love and kindness, even in the midst of pain and hardship. As the passage says, "We have to go through the pain to get to the joy." I believe that with God's help, we can get through the tough times and come out stronger and more in love on the other side.
