There are many that we have that give us thoughts and advice on life. In some cases much can be learned from words. Some of those words and thoughts can be applied to relationships and marriage. Some are very helpful and others can easily be bypassed and considered foolish.
One saying that I have heard quite often that does seem to hold some truth is “when you hit the bottom there is nowhere to go but up.”
In some relationships it actually takes hitting rock bottom before you can begin to improve and grow together. It takes the worst to bring back out the best.
In some cases couples continuously argue and fight. Each day is a new problem and the love has grown cold. The happiness and fun has been lost and the marriage seems headed for failure.
At some point in time there must be a breaking point. No two people can continue to live at each other’s throats nonstop. A relationship cannot withstand a cold love for a lengthy period of time.
In many cases, there comes a point when one or the other partner cannot tolerate the situation any longer. From this point the relationship can typically go into two directions.
Sometimes the partners feel relieved from the pressure of being together and they go their separate ways. In other cases, a new light is brought to the picture. The couple realizes what they have been doing to their marriage. They realize that this is not the life that they had planned. They feel afraid, lost, and hopeless. They cling back on to one another with a new refreshed love. They vow to get their marriage back on track.
As bad as it may seem sometimes it takes hitting the bottom to open your eyes and send you back to the top.
