Although love is a powerful force, love alone cannot sustain a relationship through the trials life tends to dish out. When stress builds up, there is a tendency to regress into self-centeredness as a means of coping with what cannot be controlled.
When people are stressed by the cares of life, criticism and resentment become expressions of inner and outward conflict. This will sabotage a couple’s fledging compatibility that gets twisted and tangled into knots, making it seem impossible to re-establish common compatibility.
For compatibility to endure, it must be nurtured as you would care for a child. Faith and trust in Christ Jesus become the anchor that holds you tight during storms that must be navigated. Jesus promised to give you the gift of joy, so lay claim to that joy by asking Jesus to restore it in you.

Two are better than one
because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one
will lift up the other.
