Everybody Knows---that nobody really knows...

Relationships....they have got to be the craziest thing evvver!
So up and down all the time...and if yours isn't...im not sure what's going on.
I understand that teenagers shouldn't have this whole thing figured out just yet, but even many adults haven't got it down.
The thing that gives me hope of truly loving someone someday and them loving me back forever is looking at the example of both sets of grandparents who have been married like 60 and 50 years...and my parents, who have been married like 23 years...That's crazy to me! Like, God definitely would have had to make them for each other for them to have stayed together for that long. I truly believe that God created special people that are supposed to be together...

"But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." [Mark 10:6-9]

"Let man not separate"...many couples end up doing that. That's the one thing that scares me the most about marriage, or relationships for right now. I mean, break-ups are so tough, i can't imagine an actual divorce. So, many people have to deal with that for so many different reasons. Although, the Bible actually only excuses it for being cheated on.

"But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital
unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries
the divorced woman commits adultery." [Matthew 5:32]

....and i can't even begin to comprehend how hurtful that would be. When I get married, I want to make sure that it is who God had planned for me all along. I'm sure He will let me know when the time comes. But, for now I'm just going to do my best with the Christian guys God has planned for me to date, and have a good time with it. I can't wait for someone to truly be able to say they love me...and unconditionally, like Christ has done for us, even though no one could ever live up to that standard. I pray in advance that God will keep my future husband in His will and keep him holy.
And for the people who you do love, a word of advice: watch what you say to them. Many times I say things to the people I care about the most that I dont think through, just because I am so comfortable with them and expect them to never get fed up with it. But, these things can't be taken back...but oh how I wish I could do just that.
Remember God's perfect example of love:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
[1 Corinthians 13:4-7]

"I hope one day you'll see, nobody has it easy, I still can't believe you found somebody new, but I wish you the best, I guess. Cause everybody knows that nobody really knows, how to make it work or how to ease the hurt...we've heard it all before cause everybody knows just how to make it right. I wish we gave it one more try, cause everybody knows that...nobody really knows"
