Me, myself and I (part 1) Me, myself and I (part 1) Loving yourself = Loving your husband/wife I think it has to come to a point (not in a narcissistic way) when we say: If you know how to love yourself, you will naturally know how to love your other half. I find that people who don't know how to cherish themselves do not cherish their other half. They can be good friends in friendships, but they may not do well in a love relationship because a love relationship demands much more out of us than say, an average friendship. I have asked myself this question just recently: Was there a time when I hated myself? My answer is no. I might have hated my deeds, thoughts and words very very much, but I didn't hate myself. I think it's very important to differentiate between hating one's manifestations, versus hating oneSELF. Somehow for me, that has been very clear since day 1...with the exception of a certain period in my life before I came to know Christ as my Lord, as a Christian. Which would be another story altogether. I can't emphasize the importance of loving oneself...if you can't exactly say that you "love" youreslf, then at the very least don't HATE yourself. Because if someone is like that, (IMHO) that person will have a hard time learning how to cope and open up to his/her other half in a love relationship, and not to mention marriage.
