Relationships

There is a story about a couple that was married and how much they loved each other. Not only were they husband and wife, they were best friends. They had love, respect, loyalty, trust, and commitment. The love they had was so strong it was as if they were one. He couldn't pass her without a loving touch, she looked at him with such tenderness. She would get ready to tell him something and he would say the very thing she was thinking. Laying her head on his chest she would listen to his heart beating and one day realized his matched hers they were beating at the exact same time. They were blessed to have an opportunity few people get on earth. God had blessed them to spend time and space with someone He had designed for them. They were divinly favored.

So it got me thinking why is it so many never know such love, not even a portion?

We all know being with someone takes work, commitment, respect, love, etc. Have we forgotten what that is anymore?

I've had the honor to have seen many marriages last in my family. I know some had their share of problems but yet I've seen them grow and be stronger than ever. My one aunt and uncle have been married over 50 years and it's a love that goes to the soul, it's spiritual. They amaze me and they inspire me.

I wasn't so lucky in love. In the past I didn't love myself, I didn't know my worth. I see things differently than I did 20 years ago. I see how I've grown for the better and what I want in a relationship. A relationship should nourish and support us and we don't have to settle. If two people have the same goals in life they can have a strong marriage/relationship. How do you know the other person wants the same thing? They say they do but at times thier actions make you wonder.......
