Don't Take For Granted The Magic Of Making Up Today

By Isaac Wood


In every relationship, there may be bumps in the road of love that can be difficult to navigate. If a break up is imminent, step back, take a breath, and find a common ground from which to work at putting the magic of making up into your lives.

Once a hurt has been inflicted upon the other, getting over that pain of betrayal, misspoken word or thoughtless action, is hard to do. Being patient and not expecting too much too soon is important, to young and old alike. It took time to get to this bad, bad place and it may take time to sort it all out and start over. Take it easy and don't rush feelings or actions, for you didn't get to this point instantly.

When one, or the other of the two have caused pain to the other, a simple "I'm sorry" is a great way to begin. It is not the end of the story, but a starting point. If trust issues are present, there may be a long road to travel while proving that one can really be trusted again. It may never happen, but if love is the bond that held two people together in the first place, there still may be enough left to build upon.

A marriage or other long-standing relationship is worth fighting for. Tossing aside a lifetime of togetherness, memories and love should not be taken lightly. Talk, talk, talk, through the night if necessary. Work out the wrinkles in your feelings for each other and set your sights on a future of happiness. Retaliation is not the answer. It can only bring about further grief. If one has been unfaithful, for example, don't be tempted to do the same, just to show your partner how it feels.

Truth is sometimes a double-edged sword, so to speak. It hurts when spoken but is not as painful as keeping secrets that eventually are revealed. A clean slate is required, to work out problems. Taking a chance on love is often better than cutting all ties and running.

No one thinks that anyone else has ever loved as deeply or as strongly as you have. Continue thinking that way and it may save that very love from ruination.

Step back together, taking some time away from home to rethink the problems. Even forget them for awhile, and return to the times that meant so much to you in the first bloom of love. Even a short period spent some place different may often be a healing balm to broken spirits.

If moving away is the answer, let it be part of the magic of making up. Take a new lease on life and love. Whatever it takes to re-kindle the flame of love, do it. Commitment is a way of life, as is patience, forgiveness and kindness. Make up, don't break up. Re-built love can be as sweet as new love. Avoid disaster in the future by treating each other as the precious mates you are. Nothing in life is perfect, but it can surely feel like it is when you are truly in love.
