It is a POSITIVE EXPRESSION of (negative included) thoughts and feelings, of oneself to another. I equate "rebuke" to tough love which intention is to build the person..constructive criticism. A person who truly loves is concerned with the other person's growth. LOVE is a verb, an action word. If hidden, then love isn't LOVE. Assertiveness plays a very vital role in any relationship.

So I guess like you said, it's better to love someone and correct them when necessary rather than not saying anything because you're afraid to hurt their feelings.

I like that. "unexpressed love is simply ignoring someone." I always feel bad when my wife has to ask "Do you love me?" Also, as far as communication goes in marriage, would it be better to express your feelings and "rebuke" when necessary rather than avoiding such topics as not to hurt the other persons feelings because of love? Yes! I like that. “unexpressed love is simply ignoring someone.”

I guess in a way well intentioned rebuke might be a form of love. And love unexpressed is simply ignoring someone. I appreciate your thought here.
