When you're single, you look at couples and think that anything must be better than your current status. Of course, we know that's not true. I'd rather be in no relationship than the wrong one, especially a hurtful one.
Relationships cause all sorts of problems. Once you're in one, how do you know that it's right? How do you overcome the differences, and how serious are those differences? Well, that depends.
As a Christian girl, it was so tough to find Christian men out there that wanted to be with me. There were several that I "scared off" by reading too much into things. You know what I mean. Don't pretend like you've never done it. So once you've got the man in your life, so what now? When personality conflicts come up, how do I adjust my attitudes to either compromise or reject those differences?
Well, I trust God - just like I did for him in the beginning. No, it's not easy. Psh...if you think I've got it figured out, you've got another thing coming. 'Cause I'm really not good at this. Really. I'm still learning, just like you.
Worry about these differences can take a lot of the joy out of living life with the person that you believe is the one God put you with. I worry enough to do lots of things, except it really does nothing. Worry can't do anything. I'm ridiculous, really. I worry about things that I should never have to think about right now.
But when it comes to personality conflicts, I'm still working to make them work. Journeys, gotta love 'em.
