Tag: season relationship

A good friend once shared the idea that people enter your life for a season, a reason or a lifetime. A "season relationship" can happen with a new friend you meet on vacation. You have a wonderful time together, but once you both head back home the relationship is over. A "reason relationship" occurs with an individual who enters your life to teach you something, through either a good or a not-so-good experience. "Lifetime relationships" last a lifetime, plain and simple.

Divorce statistics notwithstanding, marriage is still intended to be a lifetime relationship. Unless you categorize your marriage as a lifetime relationship, you risk missing out on something that could provide growth and love and serve both you and your spouse for many years to come
