New Beginning: Ready For Love

This is a blog that was started last year, per request for a certain time period. However, I stopped blogging as that time ended. The wonders of relationships has peeked my interest once more, and now I'm curious as to your opinions on the subject matter.

I believe people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Relationships are seasonal whether they're friendships, sexual encounters, or love (agape-Christ like or "unselfish love of one person for another without sexual implications; brotherly love"). I use the term seasonal because seasons change and all relationships change at some point, whether positively or negatively. My question is, how do you welcome love into your life… If it is a part of your life, how do you keep it “fresh” as it was in the beginning…

Dating for Convenience, Is It Worth It?

I’m noticing that a lot of women, both young and old, are dating just to say they have someone in their life. It makes me wonder if it’s really worth it? Generally, they’re excited to talk to their friends about him, but it usually turns into a venting session. He’s doing this, he’s doing that, he’s not doing this, he’s not doing that, etc. More than likely, she wants to be in it for the long haul, and will try to “mold” him into THE ONE. Why? Is dating for convenience really worth all of the work?
