People's up-bringing and personal attributes (shyness, difficulty with expressing oneself, etc ...) does affect one's behaviour. I don't know ... maybe excuse it at times.<br /><br />I know some men, who are not "romantic" as you see in the movies. They find it difficult buying flowers, or chocolates or say nice things. But they have a heart of gold and see their role and responsibility as providing for their wives and families; sometimes to great personal sacrifice.<br /><br />Years ago, when I was on the radio, a friend of mine asked me to record a tape for him where he played his wife's favourite music and in between he said nice things. You should have heard all the romantic things he said on that tape. Now, he was different, and could express himself so wonderfully.<br /><br />I understand your point about our relationship with God. He doesn't NEED our candles, and flowers on the Altar, and numerous repetitive prayers and incense. But we do it as an act of love and thankfulness.<br /><br />Thank you Vicky for noticing the more serious aspects of my stories. Sometimes I feel that my humour may mask what I'm trying to say.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-26710887330017793322013-06-09T01:47:42.905-07:002013-06-09T01:47:42.905-07:00I've been pondering this, Victor, and wonderin...I've been pondering this, Victor, and wondering if our upbringing can excuse less thoughtful behaviour. I guess all cultures are different and spouses do have different expectations and needs. But, part of me thinks that our love needs to find expression in both actions and words. Like our relationship with God. We try to live a holy and obedient life in our actions but we still need to express our love and need for God in prayer. Otherwise, love doesn't reach its most beautiful heights. I'm thinking Theodore might need to make more effort;-)<br /><br />Such a funny post but thought-provoking, too.<br /><br />God bless, Victor:-)Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020095571963954615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-31677524050122588202013-06-09T01:43:24.331-07:002013-06-09T01:43:24.331-07:00Thank you Colleen.
