Falling Out of Love

Larry L French, MA

Almost all couples start their relationship and marriage

In love and in “like” too. They have found their dream of a life partner –the love of their life. “til death do us part” isn’t long enough

Hurts, Confusion, Losses,
Irritations, Frustrations,
and Deep Wounds

LOVE

The inability to work through these conflicts and hear each other hurts causes the love to be covered with more intense negative emotions.
The love begins to fade.

And then life happens … There are disappointments, hurts, misunderstandings, discoveries and other behaviors, attitudes and values that you just found out about.

I feel hurt!

Don’t let a root of bitterness spring up!

“Love is a decision.”
And it is a much more rewarding decision when you are enjoying the journey together.

Love

Really listen and hear each other’s heart. Work through the unresolved emotions. Fondness and admiration are reawakened. The “like” and love grows stronger.

If you give up on this marriage and have not learned the lessons of treating each other with kindness and gentleness and of dealing with conflict you’re doomed to repeat this cycle again and again. It might be new names and faces, but the pattern will repeat itself.

“… and the beat goes on”
