When Your Spouse Rejects Your Love

Many years ago, I read the book entitled “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman. It truly opened my eyes to see an issue that I personally faced in my own marriage. I remember early on when my husband proudly gifted me a triple warming dish. I was thrown off by his gift and did not understand why he would give me something so unnecessary. I thanked him but he could see in my face that I was a little less than impressed. He later told me that he had bought it for me because I loved to throw parties. It was true that I occasionally liked doing themed events with friends, but a buffet was never on my list of must haves. Had I realized then that in his culture, the gift would have been greatly appreciated and extremely useful in how they entertain, I could have spared some hurt feelings. He has never forgotten how he felt watching his spouse reject a form of his love.

My husband has at least three major love languages, one of which is receiving gifts. According to the book, we tend to give love to others the way that we need to feel love. He gave me a gift with his entire heart, and I did not receive it as well as he had hoped, and it hurt him. Even now, years later, he still feels the sting of that event.

The same thing has happened to me. My major love language is words of affirmation so when I choose to give a gift, it is accompanied by tender words of gratitude and admiration. I learned early that those things are not as meaningful to him. We seemed to volley hurt feelings back and forth between one another during the first few years of marriage. If we feel that our love is being rejected, our first impulse is to get defensive and angry, neither of those things will heal the offended heart, however.

I have learned that when we feel that our love is rejected, it is typically because our spouse feels misunderstood or hurt. Communication is an important tool for any marriage. When you and your spouse can talk your way through problems and clear up misunderstandings, the clouds of tension and resentment dissipate. No amount of effort is wasted that goes toward creating unity and understanding. At times we may feel rejected not because a spouse is angry but because circumstances are challenging at the moment. Try to be patient and to see things from another perspective.

Elder James E. Faust taught about the importance of communicating in our marriages. He said, “Marriage relationships can be enriched by better communication. One important way is to pray together. This will resolve many of the differences, if there are any, between the couple before sleep comes. I do not mean to overemphasize differences, but they are real, and make things interesting. Our differences are the little pinches of salt which can make the marriage seem sweeter. We communicate in a thousand ways, such as a smile, a brush of the hair, a gentle touch, and remembering each day to say, “I love you” and the

husband to say, “You’re beautiful.” Some other important words to say, when appropriate, are “I’m sorry.” Listening is excellent communication.” 1

As imperfect mortals, we live in a fallen world which our enemy has claimed. He knows the importance of family relationships and incites and encourages us to get angry or offended. Remember that we have power to overcome all things, including the enemy himself. May we continually make our homes a haven of love, patience, and peace.

  • As I sit down to share my story, I am reminded of the tumultuous journey I have been through, and I hope that my experience can serve as a warning and a beacon of hope for those who may be going through a similar ordeal. My name is Adriana Karssen, and I am from Belgium. A few months ago, my life took an unexpected turn when I fell victim to a sophisticated scam that resulted in the loss of access to my cryptocurrency wallet. The aftermath was nothing short of devastating, as over $570,000 worth of cryptocurrency vanished into thin air in a matter of hours.

    The initial shock and disbelief gradually gave way to a sense of desperation as I reported the incident to my exchange and filed a complaint with the relevant authorities. However, as the days turned into weeks, I began to feel a growing sense of frustration and helplessness, as the progress on my case was slow and inadequate. It felt like everything I had worked hard for was slipping away, leaving me with a deep sense of loss and disillusionment.

    In my search for possible solutions, I scoured the internet for any glimmer of hope, and that’s when I stumbled upon Digital Light Solution. What struck me about their approach was the professionalism and the reassurance that they offered. Despite my initial reservations, I decided to take a chance and reach out to them, hoping against hope that they might be able to help me recover my lost assets.

    As I look back on that fateful decision, I am reminded of the importance of perseverance and the need to stay vigilant in the face of adversity. My experience has taught me that even in the darkest of times, there is always a way forward, and it is this message of hope that I wish to convey to those who may be going through a similar nightmare. By sharing my story, I hope to raise awareness about the risks associated with cryptocurrency scams and the importance of seeking help from reputable sources.

  • Good Morning!! My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven’t won the Lotto I’ve been playing for so long, I haven’t been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Dr Spiritual to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now completely funded. My victory marks the biggest win for a single ticket in Lotto Max history in Canada.. I still can’t believe it, Indeed there’s none like Dr Spiritual. Although if you want your EX LOVER back he can help you too so get in touch with him right now.
