Your Question:
How do I survive without my partner?
Answer:
Surviving without your partner can be a challenging and trying experience, but it's not impossible. As someone who has been married for 19 years, I can attest to the fact that relationships go through ups and downs, and sometimes, one partner may feel like they're carrying the weight of the relationship on their own. However, it's essential to remember that you can't rely solely on natural affection, especially when the relationship is struggling. In times like these, it's crucial to approach your partner in a spirit of servanthood, putting their needs before your own. This doesn't mean sacrificing your own desires and needs, but rather, being willing to put in the effort to rebuild and restore the relationship. As I've learned from my own experiences, marriage is not just about romantic love, but about commitment, trust, and mutual respect. It's the commitment that holds two people together, even when the passion and romance may be lacking. Ultimately, surviving without your partner requires a deep understanding of yourself and your own needs. It's essential to recognize that you can't fill the void in your life with just anyone or anything. You need to find fulfillment in your relationship with God, and let that be the foundation of your life. As the Bible teaches, we are made in the image of God, and it's only when we come to terms with that reality that we can truly thrive and flourish, even in the absence of a romantic partner.
