Marriage and romantic relationships are the most important in our lives, but too many times, people make the mistake of looking to their spouse to fulfill all of their needs. Spouses make terrible gods, so that is a terrible idea, expecting your spouse to make you 100% happy. If you have a void spiritually, you'll have issues anywhere in your life. You shouldn't expect your significant other to be all you have, that's why you should be your own people and then join together.
The most important part of what I heard today is this....it is in our genetic makeup to want to find "the one". Even if you're happy being alone, everyone has the desire to find love-I guess unless you're Mother Theresa, which I am most definitely not. Otherwise, why would people who get divorced find themselves remarried? Divorce is horribly painful. Why would anyone get married knowing how hard marriage is? Why would anyone date? Why would anyone put themselves out there to be heart broken, especially after having their heart broken before? Because it's natural for us to want to be with someone and it's what God wants.
So if we rebel against something natural, does that mean we are denying what God wants for us?
All I know is that there's nothing worse than romantic heartbreaks. It shreds you.
This is one of my favorite songs....Adele. Listen to the words. I love it because it's so clear how afraid she is, how afraid he is, and yet she's willing to go out on a limb for love again. Dumbass.
Just kidding.
