Seasons Change and Relationships Do Too

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

Ecclesiastes 3:1

In a long term relationship, everyone knows you have ups and downs but not everyone is strong enough to withstand the downtimes.

Face it, THINGS CHANGE!

Seasons Change, Schedules Change, Priorities Change. You have times of limited communication and times filled with an abundance of communication. You have dreamy dates and then sometimes just enough time for a quick hug. There are times when you feel super connected and times when you feel super disconnected.

YOU CAN’T GIVE UP!

Relationships are hard work and people give up on relationships and marriages way too quickly. The moment things get a little uncomfortable they flee. When they stop getting what they want, it’s time to break up! NO! NO! NO! This is not how it is designed to work. When the seasons change, we change with the seasons. Look!

 The weather is going to cool down, so what are you going to do? You are going to grab a jacket, a scarf, some boots?

When the seasons change in your relationships, YOU CHANGE TOO

If something isn’t right, if something is going wrong, you fight in PRAYER! Everyday I take time to whip out my journal to pray for my boyfriend. I’ve seen God answer my prayers like overnight shipping. If you believe God is  in your relationship,  don’t be overcome by the rough patches, difficult seasons or trials; they will strengthen your relationship and teach you great lessons but only if you don’t give up! Go to God and allow him to show you what to do in that season, see if you should put on more patience and understanding and take off some of that selfishness.

It’s okay if things change,boo. LEARN & GROW!
