Love is said to conquer all.If a man tells his wife that he loves her, then sends her crashing to the floor with a blow to the face so powerful that it shatters her cheek bone, would you question his love her her?
If he apologizes with sincerity in his heart, tears in his eyes and flowers in his hand; should her love for him outweigh her pain, fear and bruises?
Suppose he really does love her . . . and she loves him. But she knows she's not safe. So despite the emotions of her heart, she leaves him.
He's shocked. He's crushed. He's disappointed. He's confused. And he misses his wife. So he calls her.
"I love you. I can't believe you left me...that really hurt."
"I love you too," she says. "But I can't believe you hit me - that really hurt."
"If you loved me, you wouldn't have left me," he says.
"If you loved me, you wouldn't have hit me," she counters.
"I said I was sorry, but you still left," he says, still unable to get his head around her sudden absence. "If you loved me, you would have stayed here and we could have worked through this. But you didn't. You left me."
She does love him. But it's not about love at this point . . . is it?
Is love enough? Should she return to prove her love and give love a chance to conquer all?
