My apologies for the delay in getting this series back up and running.
Ive talked before about the fact that all of us have significant others, and how that doesn't necessarily involve a spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend, or lover. To me, a significant other is the most important person of our life. It can be a romantic relationship, but it can also involve a best friend, a sibling, or even a parent for some. When looking at this thread, keep that in mind. You don't even have to name the type of person, as that's not the purpose of the thread.
I'm sure we've all noticed that when in a relationship of any kind, there are certain things about that person that we pray will change. Things that, despite caring for the person immensely, we simply are tired of and have a hard time dealing with. However, with all the focus on what we would change about others, how much time do we spend considering what we hope will never change about said person? Id venture it's far less then we spend focusing on the negatives of the relationship!
As for me, it should come as no surprise that the most important person in my life then my wife. While there are several things about her that I love and hope will never change, I can easily corner the one thing that I know I hope will never change, even if everything else does.
The mnost important attribute she possesses that I pray will never change is the fact that she can find the good in anything. I don't just say this as she bottles up her feelings, because she's open and honest about them. But despite what her feelings tell her, she finds the positive, the other side of the rainbow, if you will. As for her, she experienced some significant health problems at the beginning of the year, but she fought through them, cheerfully, and came back an even better person as a result. Id love to say I have half the guts and strength that she does. It's for this Im most thankful, and pray she never changes in this aspect. But what about the rest of you?
Who's the most important person in your life?
If there's one thing you could guarantee would never change about them, what would it be? Why?
ANy other thoughts or points of discussion related to the topic are more then welcome.
