Realizing the Potential of Relationship

So, I want to continue and conclude my conversation about the changing stance that I am experiencing about relationships, love, and how they function in the life of someone that seeks that bond and has that passion.

In the previous posts, I have laid out some of the story of how I have come to the revelations that I have been coming to in the past few days/weeks. Critical to this realization was the way that I see my relationship with Jenni, now.

Our relationship was one that was based on support and us discovering how God was leading us; individually, as well, as in our relationship. But it ended with a Word from the Lord and, I believe, is right where God wants us right now. This ending has provided me with the inspiration as I try and wrestle through this topic on this canvas.

What I have come to know is that when we enter a relationship of the romantic sense, we must understand that there is a level of Love that is increased in order to be in that state. For most of society we have described this as "liking someone" because we have tried to describe it as "love." This is due, mostly, by the pseudo-pedestal that our culture has placed a form of pseudo-love on. I mean seriously, our society in America, has made "true love" unattainable by most people. If people fight, if people have disagreements, if they break off dating relationships, they never were truly "in love." I, for many years of my life have been a proponent of this socially accepted school of thought. And as God continues to grow me and mold me, I am forced to reconsider.

So this is it: I believe that any relationship is the recognition of a heightened recognition of love between a guy and girl. There it is defined. Because of this my mindset changes on a lot of issues that weren't really issues at all, however, I made issues. So what does this mean for other things. "If we love each other, shouldn't we get married?" NO! All relationships need to be entered into and managed with great caution and wisdom and with even greater openness while guarding our hearts. So, I encourage relationship! Wise Relationship. :)

That's all with this topic! (It's been eating me up that I haven't been able to word it. I don't think it is greatly worded, but this is my last rant on the topic.)
