A relationship is like a garden.
Here you can see a photo of my garden. Sad … isn’t it. If you look closely, you can just barely find the pitiful little zucchini and pumpkin plants amongst the weeds. It is obvious I have not been spending any time in my garden. Rather, I have been busy doing other things (namely, helping hubby split logs and spread a mountain of bark chips).
It is the same when it comes to relationships. If we would like to have a healthy, vibrant, flourishing relationship … we need to spend time together with those whom we are in relationship with. Time spent together strengthens and builds a relationship!
If there is a relationship which is languishing and looking as pitiful as the photo … perhaps the answer is that the relationship needs some time … pour some focused attention and care into that relationship.
Relationships are like a garden. It takes time spent together in order to have a beautiful, healthy and flourishing relationship!
