Focus on verification…when restoring broken relationships.
♡ TIP 3- Verification helps you make the best choices whether restoration is possible or not. Loving is always a choice involving your will.
- Verify: Will you choose to practice patience, kindness, forgiveness, genuineness, truth, and other foundations of love?
- Verify: Will you choose to let them decide the timing of the restoration?
- Verify: Will you choose to involve holistic (mental, physical, social, spiritual) professionals when it will help?
- Verify: Will you choose to be sure any step 4 (E. - Engagement) is beneficial to both, nor harmful to either, of you?
- Verify: Will you choose to accept the fact that the final choice for restoring will be theirs, and not yours?
- Verify: Will you choose to commit to loving (serving) them for the "long-haul" regardless of their choices?
- Verify: Will you choose to remember that you can still love some who chooses not to restore a relationship?.
REMEMBER:
Restoring ♡ Love should still follow all the 4 L.O.V.E. process steps.
√√ Double-Check: If you are not verifying, your love may not be unconditional or truly helpful...
