My take on the KC and Piolo Break Up!

Caveat:  These are just my opinion and gleanings that i learned from the said break up.  

Yesterday, KC Concepcion publicly admitted that her one year relationship with actor, Piolo Pascual, has ended. She said that Piolo failed to meet the basic expectations as a boyfriend.  The question needs to be properly qualified.  How basic is the "basic" referred to?  Obviously, the term "basic" is relative.  People may define it one way, while the others may define it in another sense.  Well, for me the basic expectations in a relationship are love and affection.  

Women tend to appreciate things differently from men.  I believe that most men would agree that they have already exerted their efforts to show their love and concern for the woman they love.  The problem is that the way "how" love and affections are expressed are not the ones expected by the woman.  Women has their own way of appreciating things.  Likewise, men would also feel something lacking in their relationship simply because the woman failed to express their love and affections the way their man would want it to be. 

Perhaps, it may be best to know the "love language" of your partner in order to minimize and prevent that feeling of "coldness" in the relationship, which then could lead to the falling out of love.  Furthermore, each partner should already lay their expectations beforehand, so that each party would not be at lost as what is expected of them.  Personally, i have learned this the hard way. 

I even shared to some of my friends, that "practically, it is easier to love the Lord because we know for sure what the Lord expects of his children.  Jesus even said, if you LOVE ME, you will obey my commands.  In other words, we have the Bible to show us and remind us of God's expectations, unlike in a dating or courtship, that each party has to guess what is expected of them."

Ladies, sometimes men needs to be reminded.  Men and Women are "wired" differently.  Sometimes, a checklist could be of help for us to serve as our "guide".

Most of all, all of us, whether men and women, should learn how to forgive.  We should learn how to love sacrificially, just as Christ love His Bride (the elect people) to the point of giving up His life for her.  Christ, our Savior and Lord, serves as our model when it comes to love, especially in loving the unloveable.

As Christians, our Lord expects of us, to "Outdo one another in showing honor." (Romans 12:10b).  May we learn how to love the woman we cherish, and the people around us.
