Have you ever had a day or night that you and your love were just off? Not in sync. Maybe one is grouchy and then the other gets irritated. And it snowballs into this very yucky feeling. All you want to do is go to bed and try this again tomorrow.
I am sure this happens to every couple. It happened to me and my love the other day. Whenever this happens (thankfully not very often) I think of this Amy Grant song called "That's What Love is For". It helps me feel better. Reminds me of the big beautiful picture. Here are some of the lyrics.
Sometimes we make it harder than it is
We’ll take a perfect night
And fill it up with words we don’t mean
Dark sides best unseen
And we wonder why we’re feeling this way.
Sometimes I wonder if we really feel the same
Why we can be unkind
Questioning the strongest of hearts
That’s when we must start
Believing in the one thing that has gotten us this far.
That’s what love is for.
Melt our defenses
Bring us back to our senses
Round off the edges
Talk us down from the ledges
Sometimes I see you
And you don’t know I am there
And I’m washed away by emotions
I hold deep down inside
Getting stronger with time
It’s living through the fire
And holding on we find
That's what love is for

Wow, I really needed that! Ironically enough, me & my love went thru this exact thing last week. It is such a yucky feeling...like a rock sitting in the pit of your stomach. Thankfully, like you, those times are far & few between. Just nice to know that other couples experience the same thing. Great song lyrics! Sums it up rather nicely.
Amy, You said it perfectly.."like a rock sitting in the pit of your stomach." That is exactly how it feels. Things have gotten much better now for us. I suppose if you didn't have those rocky times, you wouldn't appreciate how good it truly is.
