5 Ways to Stay Inlove

-

     Being in love is a magical thing, but it is always a choice to sustain the spark. Two different persons take the same path with a mutual decision to hold on to each others' promises - to stay together until their hair turns gray. Here are the five ways to stay in love accompanied by Bible verses.



1. Be patient.

    Patience is everything in a relationship. Many situations give inconvenience, trouble, and frustration to the two of you that may be encountered along the way. These must be faced, and it takes a brave heart to surpass all the challenges without sacrificing your partner's emotions. You may lean on him/her during hard times but make sure that your partner does not become your stress absorber at all. Be patient while you are in the process and be sensitive to your partner. 

    If you are the other half who receives negative emotions from your partner due to his unexplained stress, you must be patient as well. Try to get into his shoes. Ask him/her what the problems are. Serve him/her with things that make your partner relaxed and relieved. 

The Bible said in 1 Corinthians 13:1:

Love is patient; love is kind.


2. Forgive

    Life will challenge both of you. It is up to you if you will give up or not. But you are here to know about staying in love, so you will choose to forgive instead of giving up on your relationship. Everyone makes mistakes; however, these should be avoided as much as possible simply because you love your partner. The Bible said in Hebrews 3:15:

Today, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.


3. Communicate

    Tell everything that makes you feel happy, sad, excited, afraid, and many more. Do not build a standard if your thoughts are not well-communicated. Communication solves different kinds of problems you may encounter. Always say that you love him/her. Choose to give your partner kind and loving words but stay true when correction is needed. The Bible said in Colossians 4:6:

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt.


4. Appreciate your partner.

    Through ups and downs, you are there to appreciate your partner's sacrifices and efforts to make himself a better person for you. He/she deserves to hear encouraging, supportive, and hopeful praises from you. When you are hurt, always choose to express what you feel but aim not to leave heartbreaking words in your conversation, but when you did, ask for forgiveness.

The Bible said in Hebrews 4:12:

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.


5. Be consistent.

   When you love someone, you serve your better half consistently no matter what circumstances you are both in. Give him a glass of water when he gets home. Give him/her a massage after a long tiring day. Laugh together. Give time for each other. Celebrate your anniversaries, birthdays, and other special events extraordinarily. Love each other with consistency.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you. -John 13:34

Rest In-Between

Today, I wake up early with a different longing For the past eight months and one week, I woke up early to fill out, To accomplish what I didn't finish yesterday, To fill in what is missing, To fill up the cup of excellence. Every day, I get up for an accomplishment However, my body is not mine My body is a holy temple A gift from God yet He is truly the owner. I do not cooperate when He says, "rest" I love the point of dwelling in pressure For a purpose of meeting the deadline But my time is not mine too. The way I abuse myself for the sake of " next level version " The rushing and stressing to go with the flow To go like every second of time is a waste if not used seriously It may look that all of these intentions honor God but it tires you inside is not totally honoring God. Your body and your time are God's So, take it easy. Take it lightly. Rest. Repent. Render everything to God. The time for rest is not a waste. The time for rest is a part of the proc...
