Hi fellow steemians greetings from this part of the continent,

I bring to you guys tonight the idea of sacrisfy in marriage.

Sacrifice in marriage is the act of offering or surrender of something for the sake of something else.

Sacrifice in marriage are often about making effort for the betterment of the other person.
Sacrifice in marriage may sound awful but it is one of the purest ways to show Love to someone. Saying "I love you is good and necessary but giving of yourself time and giving the other person the best piece of food maybe you spend time together watching a television or doing a tax that is usually the others responsibility.

Sacrifices involves setting aside our insistent inner self that wants to be first and the focus of attention. It doesn’t mean that we become invisible or insignificant. We don’t give up our true selves.

What I notice, in fact, is that when the motive is pure and the intent noble, our minds, hearts, and souls grow and glow brighter.

Though about balance. While couples should not keep score, they must both be engaged in sacrifice for the marriage to be healthy.

You are lifetime exclusive partners in the marriage project process. Sacrifice brings new life to the marriage relationship when expressed as a “sincere gift of self”.

IMPORTANCE OF SACRIFICE IN MARRIAGE

In a mutually caring relationship such as marriage, sacrificing for each other doesn't make much sense if both spouses really do care about each other.
Why should I expect X to suffer for my happiness? Why should Y expect X to suffer for Y?

Neither of us should want the other to lose so that we can gain. It's only if we are being selfish in an uncaring moment that we would expect the other to sacrifice.
Mutual care means that both of us want each other to thrive and neither of us want the other to suffer.

But joint sacrifice in marriage requires openness and honesty. It's done with both spouses knowing what is required of them. It also has a well-defined ending—the sacrifice is not expected to continue indefinitely. Since the sacrifice is mutually agreed upon and requires joint effort, there is no expectation of reciprocity.

Thanks for your kind attention reading this idea of sacrifice in marriage.

Appreciate you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
