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.

  • SEARCHING FOR LOST CRYPTO RECOVERY EXPERT VISIT DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY.

    I never imagined I would fall for an online scam, but desperation and trust can cloud judgment. It started when I saw a convincing investment platform promising high returns on cryptocurrency. The website looked professional, the support team responded quickly, and the testimonials felt real. I transferred my savings in crypto, believing I was making a smart move. Days later, the platform stopped responding, my account was locked, and I realized I had been scammed. Panic, shame, and fear took over as I accepted that my hard-earned crypto was gone.

  • I want to write this testimony regarding The Great Odunga who made me win $1 million Dollars in the 2024 lottery on Aug. 5. My name is Lynne Kannuan and I am from Laos, Iowa, USA. I won this Powerball lottery in Webster City, US and I am not much of a lottery player because I don’t check my lottery ticket until about a week or two and Chief Dr. Odunga changed my life both for family and friends. I will put his email first for those who comprehend my write up to contact Great Odunga to win the lottery at his email odungaspelltemple@gmail.com for he is a real spell caster. I won the lottery of $1 million USD and to the press my comment was “Not too much, Not too little, just right”. I contacted Great Odunga through my friend who first contacted him to help her get her fertility issues solved and she is now a mother of twins boys for over 2 years but truth be told, I never believed the lottery can be won through spells until now. She told me to contact Great Odunga to help me win the lottery through spells and I did. To my surprise a week later, I had won the Powerball of $1,000,000 USD. The winning numbers in the Aug. 5 Powerball drawings were: 29-42-44-51-54 and Powerball 12. It’s a great achievement to me and I must post this testimony to recommend the Great Odunga to everyone who reads my write up. It was my friend who called me to check my ticket to realize I had won the Powerball Lottery. I am grateful to God to be a recent lottery winner with my name on the Powerball blog. You should contact Chief Dr. Odunga Email: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR and also Whats-App message him on +2348167159012

  • 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.
