“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow.” — Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (KJV)

Every relationship will face storms. Seasons of misunderstanding, stress, or difference of opinion can test even the strongest bonds. Yet God designed commitment to be the anchor that holds two hearts steady when waves rise. True love is not the absence of hardship—it is the presence of grace in the midst of it.

In a world that celebrates quitting, believers are called to endure. Love that lasts is not based on convenience but covenant. When Christ is at the center, even the hardest seasons can become holy ground—places where faith deepens and love matures.
