Building a lasting love: Maturity, diversity, and true connection, by Daniel Adeola Aderounmu

Choosing a partner is just the beginning. Building a lasting love requires values that transcend the ‘perfect match.’ I’m sure you will find this sharing below insightful and helpful:

After understanding the importance of shared faith and adaptability, let’s consider the qualities that keep a relationship strong and deeply connected:

3. Unity in Diversity
Celebrate the differences that make each of you unique! Rather than aiming for sameness, aim for harmony—a unity that thrives on mutual respect and open-mindedness.

Diversity in personality and interests can be a gift, making your relationship richer and stronger.

4. Maturity
Seek emotional, spiritual, and intellectual maturity. A mature partner knows marriage is about facing both joys and challenges together.

This quality helps you handle disagreements, resolve conflicts, manage stress, and grow both as individuals and as a team.

5. Love—True Love
Above all, choose love that goes beyond attraction. Genuine love, as described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, “is patient, kind, and perseveres.” Choose someone with whom you can pray, grow, and build a future grounded in shared vision.

The journey to marriage is not about finding perfection; it’s about choosing a partner whose strengths and weaknesses you embrace wholeheartedly.

Together, you can create a love that not only endures but flourishes through every season.
