Love takes a ton of work!

#love #bible #simplicityintruth

3/6 Edited to

In my personal experience, understanding that love takes a ton of work has been a profound realization. It’s not just about feelings but daily actions of devotion and respect. The phrase from the article, "Love Day 10: Devoted & Honoring!" resonates deeply, emphasizing that love is an ongoing commitment rather than a one-time event. One practical way to nurture love is by intentionally honoring your partner's feelings and sacrifices. This means actively listening, showing appreciation for even small acts, and consistently prioritizing each other's well-being. From a biblical standpoint, love is described as patient, kind, and selfless, which aligns with the idea that devotion involves putting others first. Another key insight is that love grows stronger through challenges when both partners remain dedicated to working together. Whether it’s through prayer, open communication, or shared values, focusing on growth and mutual respect can transform a relationship. In my journey, incorporating these ideals led to more meaningful connections. Seeing love as a practice of honoring and devotion encourages daily effort, which ultimately fosters deeper trust and happiness.

why equality doesn't work in my relationship…

I used to be someone who would always be focused on EQUALITY in my relationship ALL THE TIME. If I didn’t see my partner pulling his weight 50/50 one day, I would be so upset. I tried to make sure EVERYTHING was 50/50. Chores. Expenses. You name it. But I realized just how unhappy and more importan

if it takes work is it really love?

I believe that the most special relationships take work, because that means you are growing together and love eachother enough to have hard conversations, grow together, push eachother. The human experience isn’t always easy, so one partner can be having a hard time while the other is in a good
