Romance, Disillusionment, JOY

These are the words to describe a relationship journey. I first heard them at a UME - United Marriage Encounter Weekend. By the way, if you have not gone before, you must [ provided you are already married for at least a year ]. Reminded of it last week when the church celebrated some wedding anniversaries.
In different relationships, many people just give up at the middle stage - disillusioned - leave, divorce, go to another cell, another church, another job, another country, another religion, another god etc.
Some just vegetate at this stage - que sera sera. In marriage this is a terrible state to be in. But thank God, this can be the best time to move on to the next stage - JOY. It's not going to be easy. It's learning to speak love language - learn correct communication skills. How to talk honestly, accurately and most importantly lovingly.
Are you at a romantic state - watch out for the disillusion state - then be honest, be open, be humble, be teachable, be willing to change....JOY IS WAITING FOR YOU.

In His Presence is Fullness of JOY...He is the Way, the Truth and The LIFE.
