I finished the Anticipating Christmas: A 5-Day Advent Plan Bible reading plan from @YouVersion! Check it out here: http://bible.com/r/7LA

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:9‭-‬10 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1jn.4.9-10.KJV

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.3.16.KJV

if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/2ch.7.14.KJV

When a man and a woman starts dating, fall in love, get married, start a family, everything is good in the beginning. As time, months, and years come and go, things sometimes happen that will cause a relationship to fall apart. It could be that they grow apart from one another especially if one is being pushed away, or have been pushed away throughout the relatioship.

When there are children involved, they see what is going on, but if they are not old enough to know, or old enough to understand, they will be in the dark for a long period of time until they are old enough to know what’s going on, and understanding the matter at hand.

The couple does not understand how it will affect the children. It may cause them depression, anxiety, and it may even cause them to rebel, such as acting out, not wanting to go to school, skipping class, or hanging with a bad crowd of people who could possibly land them in lots of trouble.

Sometimes we try to hold onto something that we know may never work out. No matter how hard we try to make things work in a relationship, if it is done. There is counseling for such things as this, but whose to say if it will or won’t work?

Normally men will start to show dislike in the relationship before the woman. They make up every excuse in the book as to why they are acting the way they are. They make up excuses such as, “I’m tired, or they will just get up and leave and not take their phone, or “accidentally forget to put their ring on, or whispers on the phone, or go into another room, or outside while on the phone.” Those are red flags in a females eyes in which they do not understand that we realize what’s going on.

They may even pick an unnecessary fight, or start an argument for no reason over something small and petty just to leave home. Just who do they think they’re trying to fool? When they get caught, they try to put everything on the female when they are the ones doing wrong.

Just what makes a man think that they can just call a woman out of her name? I guess they forget that a woman had to have them so they could be in the world. I suppose they think that they had themselves. They think that all women are good for is cleaning up after them, washing their clothes, having their children, and pleasuring them. But low and behold if they get sick!, their whole world comes to an end. Guess what? We have to take care of them. If it were the other way around, does anyone think they would do it for us?

I am not saying that all males are that way, but I am making a clear point. This is something I have wanted to talk about for a very long time. I am just fed up with all of the nonsense that has been going on for as long as I can remember. I look at it like this. A relationship will work if it is meant to be, but if it is not meant to be, there is nothing that can, or will make it work, not even prayer unless you want it to.

I am sure everyone will have their own opinion about this article, but this is just how I feel. I will not apologize for the truth, or how I feel about this matter. My words, my thoughts, my article. I will always write and speak what I feel.
