Road to Restoration

No matter what people write in their relationship statuses in different social networks, relationships are -- and will always be complicated. Complicated in a sense, that it is between two people with two independent (hopefully) ways of thinking. Unfortunately, unlike machines, break ups are not easily fixed. Break ups, start with small fissures, a bad comment, an argument or a misunderstanding that can punch holes in a seemingly perfect association. If left and ignored, fissures become cracks, cracks that are irreparable and hurtful. Long awkward silences are like samurais, cutting through the love and the bond of couples. Hearts are trampled, expectations are burnt, and minds are in chaos asking "what did I do wrong?" And as couples go down through the road that leads to break ups, they tend to miss that little less trodden detour that leads to restored loves and friendships.

Breaks ups, as bad as they are, are not irrevocable. People just have to find the road to restorations. Sometimes, this road is hard to find, hidden by the undergrowth of pride and lies. As cliché at it may sound, communication really is the key. In that road to restoration, couples must shed all the lies that hide the pathways that bind them together. They must also shed all pride that weighs them down or the trek will become impossible. Here, couples will also see chasms of unspoken words and held back apologies. And as the song says, sorry does seem to be the hardest word to say. At this point, couples must lay it all in the line. No sin left unconfessed, no word unspoken, no apology unsaid. And yes, it hurts. Love, lies, deceit, pride, arguments, words, and judgments, all those things and more hurt a person. But that is one of the ways a person can know that something matters, when it hurts them. And if a person finds something that is important to them, they should protect and cherish it with everything they have.

Breaks ups are avoidable, and like sickness, prevention is better than cure. One must be open to his or her partner. Set the expectation that there are some things that should not be said, there are also some things that should only be said in the comfort of confidentiality. Give each other space to grow, to learn and to miss each other. Set up special events and dates even if there is no special occasion. Surprise each other with well thought out or personalized gifts. Go all out and don’t be a penny pincher when it comes to the person you love, because at the end of the day, it’s all that matters. Make each other feel special, loved, and cherished.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
