【社會心】婚姻衝突--影響情緒的非理性思想(38)--警告訊號﹐調校速度

 

我曾經面對過﹐當電腦在同一時間太多事情在進行﹐而不斷按時﹐會帶來 "當"(down) 機。手機也會有此現象﹐常常 "當" 機﹐很是煩惱!可幸的是﹐當再按 "重新設置"(reset button) 時﹐又把它帶回原來狀況﹐可以再度運作﹐只是要再次設置很耗時﹐而且有不少軟件重新安裝。電腦、手機會 "當"﹐人的情況亦然﹐尤其在家裡﹐有可能更容易出現 "當" 機。就好像當你步行感覺到氣喘﹐便會減慢步伐。我們若能留意一些 "當" 機前的訊號﹐就可以避免 "重新設置"!

speed有些人為了多賺點錢供樓養車而要做三四份兼職﹐結果弄至胃潰瘍﹐或患上肝病;也有些人喜歡社交活動和好學﹐一星期五個晚上都參加不同的組別﹐結果每樣事情都做不好﹐但身心卻非常疲累;也看過有些非常投入教會的信徒﹐在自己教會參加不同組別﹐還在外邊參加 "聖經研習班" 和 "生命之道" 等等研習班﹐結果是沒有時間消化所學的﹐聽的都變成 "水過鴨背"﹐過目即忘。這些適得其反的原因﹐縱然有著良好的動機﹐卻可能是過於高估自己能力﹐或是低估了事情所需要的預備﹐更可能是內心深處的 "追求成就感﹐期待得嘉許" 心態﹐逼使自己去跨越極限﹐以致帶來頗為痛苦的後遺症

在家庭裡﹐夫婦的相處也隨時會遇上類似情況﹐就是各自有自己的活動安排﹐有的人一星期沒有一次在家一起吃飯又或是在晚飯後﹐各顧各地趕快去下一個活動﹐回到家已經見到另一半在睡夢中這個家庭的夫婦關係會有好的發展嗎倘若家裡有子女﹐情況更複雜﹐可謂危機四伏﹐隨時爆發。究竟有些甚麼危機訊號呢當留意到有些訊號﹐又該怎麼辦

有的夫婦﹐不再有牽手散步﹐有的甚至不知對方的去向﹐也不知道對方的喜怒哀樂等情緒﹐雙方有太多緘默或只是責任事務的交代﹐沒有內心感受的交流﹐這些都是婚姻危機的訊號。

筆者也曾經有上述的情況﹐在結婚幾年後有了第一個女兒﹐又要供樓﹐我除了日間的主任工作以外﹐也去做兩晚兼職教書﹐又兼讀學士課程﹐又參與教會的主日學教學﹐以及一個輔導研習組。那時候﹐每一天都要細看當日行程﹐總是覺得透不過氣﹐分秒必爭﹐常常趕 deadline﹐有假期便用來睡覺﹐追補功課或閱讀﹐甚少時間與女兒玩﹐或者與太太拍拖把家務全交與菲傭。現在回顧﹐既不知道自己如何有那麼多的精力﹐那不自量力的勇氣﹐更有不少遺憾失去跟女兒和太太共度的親密時間我的問題又是怎樣出現轉機呢

轉變的關鍵點是在一個教會的夫妻營裡﹐太太在小組分享中說到她的情況時﹐突然聲淚俱下﹐全組突然沉默﹐當時有點不知如何處理。事後﹐經過牧師、組長等開解、鼓勵和建議﹐我們的生活才漸漸重回正軌。我決定退出輔導研習組﹐減少一晚教夜校﹐暫停教主日學﹐待課程完成後再安排。

現在﹐要保持醒覺意識﹐每隔一些日子便讓自己獨處靜思﹐在飯後散步或在公園靜坐﹐細看自己近來的內心情緒、太太的情況﹐彼此深度交談﹐想想有沒有互存款給對方的情緒銀行。若有發現有需要行動去了解或澄清﹐或是糾正行動﹐便需要先想一個和諧的做法﹐把問題妥善處理。婚姻關係是需要雙方努力經營的﹐我們永遠都要學習如何取得平衡﹐既有各自空間﹐也有共同分享﹐生活才能彼此滿足、健康成長。

為誰辛苦為誰忙

事務連綿不見岸。

日理萬機機也傷﹐

減少事務又何妨?
