Before you decide to spend your life with someone, take the time to really know them not just when things are good, but in every season of life.
People change depending on their circumstances. The way someone acts when they’re happy may be very different from how they handle stress, disappointment, or success. Before making a lifelong commitment, ask yourself:
– Have you seen them angry? How do they react when upset? Do they communicate calmly or lash out?
– Have you seen them sad or hurt? Are they open about their emotions, or do they shut down?
– Have you seen them struggle financially? Do they stay responsible, or do they blame others?
– Have you seen them succeed? Does success make them humble or arrogant?
– Have you seen them under pressure? Do they stay patient, or do they become harsh?
Love isn’t just about good times it’s about standing together through all times. If you marry someone before seeing how they handle life’s highs and lows, you may be in for surprises good or bad.
Take your time. Watch, learn, and be sure before you commit. A strong relationship is built on real understanding, not just feelings in the moment.
Choose wisely your future self will thank you. _EA
