Weather Patterns: Preparing for a Storm

If only there was such a person who could predict the patterns of marriage like they predict the weather hour by hour... 

“Well folks, we have a week of discontent ahead followed by a few days of hot, tempered frustrations.”

Imagine how much more smoothly the conversations would go if we knew ahead of time what was going to be the hot topic of the day, the disappointment of our careers or the lies that potentially will be told? If only...

That would make life WAY too easy for us!!! I believe that it is through those chilly wind storms and severe thunder showers that we gain insight to who we are as a couple, learn from our mistakes and allow the past to make us stronger. 

If you have had to weather a few storms in your marriage, stop to first thank God that He brought you through them and secondly, reflect on ways to better prepare for the next.
