There Are Seasons of Love in Every Romantic Relationship
The idea that there are seasons of love is not a new idea, but it's one that very few people know about, and that leads to no end of heartache.
Everyone knows about and wishes to feel that sweet honeymoon period at the beginning of a relationship.
That's the first of the seasons and it is often the most romantic.
But tragically, that's usually all they know.
And when the romantic honeymoon ends, sometimes gently sometimes with heartache, they wonder - What is love? Good question.
Love is not a static thing.
It grows.
And like anything that lives and grows, love must grow through it's seasons of love.
What seasons of love? We have identified four major seasons, each with it's own romantic core.
The First of the Seasons of Love Most known as the honeymoon season we call "A Glimpse of what is Possible.
" The most intensely romantic of all the seasons of love.
The Second of the Seasons of Love We call "The Clash of Differences" - when most couples ask- What is love? - because they have to make their way through the differences that always arise in every relationship.
The Third of the Seasons of Love We call "The Magic of Differences" - when the answer to the question "What is love?" begins to emerge.
This is not love at first sight, or puppy love.
This is deep and deeply romantic love- the kind of love that will last your lifetime.
And the Fourth of the Seasons of Love And by far the most romantic we call "The Grace of Deep Intimacy" - when a couple has learned each other, accepted each other, and now they admire, respect and cherish each other, because they are different.
It's in the differences between them that the answer to "What is Love? becomes clear.
So, what is love? Not in a philosophical sense.
Nor in a romantic novel sense.
But in a real day-to-day sense.
What is love? Love is a living, breathing, growing experience that evolves with a couple as they evolve together through their seasons - seasons of love, each with its own romantic lessons and delights, all in answer, a living answer to the question - what is love?"
