You may have seen TV commercials of couples testifying they have the perfect soulmate.
However compatibility, at whatever level, must be consistently nurtured or else it loses its strength to stay fresh and fulfilling.
How could this possibly happen? Changes occur in the way individuals perceive each other. What was once an adored and loved personality trait may over time lose its luster and attractiveness. Focusing on what has become undesirable diminishes compatibility.
Can compatibility be restored? Relationships and people change in ways that make it possible for insight and wisdom to replace what has become objectionable. God’s love internalized makes forgiveness and restoration desirable. Jeremiah 31:33 is encouraging. “I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore I will continue my faithfulness to you.” Live in that reality now.

But God demonstrates his own
love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
