You can’t be a ride or die unless you have love: a strong feeling of affection and concern towards another person. Love is a whole lot of powerful things and it's shown in many powerful ways, but at its core, love is sacrifice. This is why it feels like work. Love is demanding and requires forgiveness, and love is the hardest when we must get past our hurt and surrender to what love needs to thrive.
Rodney and Christal Newkirk share a lovely “love again” story, opening ourselves to love after we've tried and it didn't work. It's not easy, but love can certainly be worth it. If we allow ourselves to be vulnerable enough to try again, we'll discover more about the power of love and their relationship success as we tap into their journey of growing together.
