Summary of this article

 

Here is another key reminder from Gary Chapman. All of us want to feel we have freedom and are not being forced or manipulated. Especially in love, each person must be freely choosing to participate in the relationship all the time.

 

God bless your family and your marriage.

We All Need Our Freedom

 

By Gary Chapman

 

One of our deepest emotional needs is the need for freedom.

 

In a marriage, we want to be free to express our feelings, thoughts, and desires. We want the freedom to make choices.

 

We often do things for each other, but we don't want to be manipulated or forced to do things.

 

If we feel like we are being controlled we get defensive and angry.

Freedom is never to be absolute; to be totally free is to live a life without love.

 

Love chooses to look out for the interest of the other person.

 

However, if we realize this need for freedom we will allow our spouse freedom to make choices. We will make requests but not demands. We will express our opinions, but give them the freedom to disagree.

 

Love and freedom are two key elements in a healthy marriage.
