"Verbal confrontations are healthy for
relationships. Disagreeing is normal. The more people are
together, the more potential there is to disagree." [1]
So many couples think that when a relationship starts out
good that it will always remain good but I ask "is that true?".
Through my own journey and understanding
through the many testimonies I heard and experiences, that even
I myself have been in, there are not always those peaceful and
perfect harmony moments. The longer we take the time to know the
person the more we seem to discover about who they really are
and how they are able to handle situations, no matter how rough
or easy they may be, through out the journey of life.
What matters most is not the changes or
differences your partner might have or be going through in life
but are you willing to be there with them as they go through
those changes. As John Calvin once quoted, "man changes daily
but God never changes." And, also a friend one time said while
we were speaking on the phone that, "through these many years of
marriage I have been married to several ladies". The question
you might be asking is "was he married to several ladies" or was
it that "his lady has gone through many changes and he was there
with her during those changes". The second question is the
correct answer. His lady went through several changes and he was
there during those changes. It shocked me to at first when I
heard him describe that story to me but it made perfect since in
the end.
A good Bible verse to go along with this
story is "he who endures to the end will be saved" which can
simply be put into marital since that if we are willing to
endure through all those rough moments that come our way our
marriage will always be saved.
If you honestly do love your partner, be
there for them as they also will be there for you and keep
enduring till the end because marriage is an everlasting thing
not a temporary thing.
Treat your partner respectfully just as you
also would like to be treated.
