THE FIVE INEVITABLE STAGES IN RELATIONSHIPS, COURTSHIP & MARRIAGE; HOW TO HANDLE THEM(part3). ...(In conclusion) #4. ENDURANCE: Only relationships built on the solid foundation of God’s Word can endure this phase. Here, it seems that all you have in common apart from God are just differences, differences and differences! At this stage, quarrels seem to be the order of the day. The knowledge of the basic differences between a man and a woman, constant prayers offered for the relationship, and the presence of a good mentor over the relationship are very helpful to avoid break-up here. This is the stage you often reach the conclusion that the marriage cannot work. When I got to this stage, I wanted to break up, and she wanted to break up. But every time we decided to go our separate ways, we lost our peace! We always came back. It is at this stage you decide to embrace God’s plan instead of being selfish and egotistical. This is the most critical stage; any relationship that goes through this stage successfully will be established. #5. ENJOYMENT: After endurance comes enjoyment. Here you realize the rewards and blessings of relationship. The Biblical truth of two being better than one, and two being able to chase ten thousand while one could only chase a thousand, becomes a physical reality. Here, the differences are seen as a blessing, not as a challenge. The two enjoy their relationship. They align their visions; they now understand each other. They forgive easily. They stop getting hurt at everything and they decide to forge ahead in God! I pray for you this day, that at whichever stage you find yourself, single or married, the wisdom of God will be available for you in Jesus name!
