Every relationship/marriage goes through challenges, only difference is, a not so grown couple gets destabilized and destroyed by the challenges whereas a grown couple thrives through challenges. Challenges will be there to test your love.
The first time a couple faces a major issue, the man and woman can get so worried thinking it marks the beginning of the end of their union; but once they succeed in standing through that storm, they get encouragement to face whatever storms might come next. You don't throw away a good love because tough times come.
Being a strong couple needs you two to always put effort, no challenge can bring down a man and woman who love each other and who do love as a team. Whether it's health issues, financial struggles, attacks from outsiders, an ex from the past who shows up, in laws, attacks from the enemy; a strong couple is ready to overcome it all.
When you grow together as a couple, you develop shock absorbers. When trouble hits, you hold ground firmly saying "If we pulled through back then, we will pull through this storm too. This too shall pass"
Many couples miss out on the great union they could have had, just because they panicked, operated on fear, or failed to be patient when storms came. Do not be the lonely person filled with regret who looks back and says "What if? What if we stood up for our love instead of giving up?"
A grown couple sets their eyes long term, they look at the bigger picture hence are not easily shaken by the temporary challenge of today. Through the ups and downs, what matters is that they have each other. Their loyalty to each other is unquestionable, if you touch one of them you touch both of them; whether you are a person, a challenge or evil itself. You will be met by the combined force of them two; actually, the combined force of three: God, the man and the woman. A cord of three that can never be broken.
Whether you are dating or married, may you two establish a track record of standing firm through issues, attacks and storms.
