How often do you compromise the desires of your heart for the comfort of another? I was talking with a sister friend of mine today and she shared that she was beginning to question her heart because what she wants is causing her beloved pain. Oh, how Ive been there. And I am exploring whether THIS (especially early on in the relationship) is the clear sign that the relationship isnt a match or whether compromise is necessary. I am holding out for relationship with men who want for me what my heart wants even if it causes some measure of pain for him. His desire for my pleasure and joy supersedes his pain. And vice versa. That is the standard I am holding out for in the relationship w my King. I may feel pain about things his heart longs for as well, AND if his heart longs for it, I will prioritize it even if it hurts. Sometimes, I do wonder - maybe I should just settle and compromise. But I dont think its time for that just yet. We are imprinting a new reality here. Its gonna take a little time. And today, when I am lonely and sick and just want comfort, its hard. But I believe it will be worth the wait. Im curious how it is for you. Do you compromise what you desire for the comfort of your partner or spouse? Is that the norm? If so, can you see a possibility that may be uncomfortable but might serve the relationship (and the world) even more? Truly curious.
