Here is what I believe based on experience.
Who we end up with is somewhat determined by fate. God brings the people into our circle and then it is up to us to put in the effort to make it happen. Having said that, some relationships inevitably end or they never take off despite all our efforts.
Some people believe that we have karmic contracts with people and when the contract ends, so does the relationship.
All I know is that the person for you will always be for you.
Remember BNM, that is only in the movies and novelties. Love in real life comes down to two people making the choice to give it a chance and see where it goes. If it goes well, Then, it all lies in the care, protection, and nurture they give it.
A couple falls short, only when.....one or both have fail to protect it or prevent it from failing...prot
ection from intruders, physical and spiritual..fai
ling to prevent it from failing, such as friendly flirtings at workplaces, or not being honest of their status...Take for examples many of our elders. They are with their first. Many of them...lol They have no idea what they're doing by coming to AMerica and popping out hella kids for no damn logical reason...LOL
But they had the foundations correct. Faith, love, and hope. And everything falls into place.....one way or another...haha
