When I was writing, I was speaking of people who sometimes treat others with more dignity and respect than their own spouses (most often in relationships not having to deal with a life threatening protracted illness). Even in circumstances that most people would consider ideal, we frequently do not cherish and nurture them. I used to wonder about the challenges that are placed in front of each of us - financial, sickness, political, death, job loss, etc. - and question their value. I'm now realizing that many of these obstacles that I'm questioning at the time. end up shaping me and the direction of my life as if the were part of what I had to experience to become the person I was meant to be. The process of trying to understand the things that appear to be incomprehensible at the time is a part of my daily journey. I find myself praying, reading and meditating to try and understand those things in my life which are causing pain or frustration. I've missed your messages. I'm thankful your gift of challenging my thoughts! You're excellent at allowing me to see things from different perspectives. Hi Mike,

I'm sure that you see this situation way too frequently - and unnecessarily- in your practice. Intentional living with love and respect is the only way to go! Hi Esther,
Thanks for your professional feedback on the post. I’m sure that you see this situation way too frequently – and unnecessarily- in your practice. Intentional living with love and respect is the only way to go!

I see this everyday in my practice and in my personal life. It really is so easy to let all the little details slip and its in those details that we express our love and respect for each other. This is a great reminder for couples. Learning to live intentionally is not easy but the results are often fantastic. Bob,
