12 Days To A Love That Lastsಮಾದರಿ

Rhythms
 

Rhythm is something that's built right into creation. We see that in the well-worn passage from Ecclesiastes we read today: there's a time and a season for everything. We can't be doing everything all the time with no breaks – that's a recipe for burnout.
 

The (sometimes) frustrating thing is: rhythm is also something that's built into each of us as well. We all have our individual rhythms, the ways we like to go about living our lives, and working with the rhythms of the world, of the body, of the mind, and of the spirit is necessary in order to function properly.
 

So then what do you do if you and your spouse have different rhythms?
 

It's so tricky! But that's one of the many reasons why we have the Holy Spirit, because He can help us in submitting to one another, even when we don't understand them or their rhythms.
 

Understanding that we have rhythms is the first key in finding ways to make those rhythms line up with one another so that we can find unity and build a love that lasts. So embrace your spouse's rhythms and then work to find ways to line them up with yours.
