Driving down the road people tend to look off the side of the road to see the scenery especially if they are a passenger. I am no different. This is why I saw the interwined trees.

It had been a long ride already. I was bored and thinking I wish he would let me drive. Since that was not going to happen, I began to stare out the window. Surely, the scenery would provide me with some kind of stimulation. Then I saw them.

We were coming up on a straight stretch of highway that went through open farmland. The softly rolling hills were covered in fields of farmland. Nothing else but hills and fields. Yet, right in the middle of this one field were two trees that were intertwined together. How interesting.

The trees were bare against the elements. All they had were each other out in the middle of that field. Nothing to protect them but the other tree that stood with them. The larger tree was somewhat leaning over the other tree as if providing comfort and protection to it. I began to think how these two trees reminded me a couple who are in a relationship.

The trees that stood alone in the middle of nowhere reminded me that all too often a couple feels like they are standing all alone together against the elements of the world. Bills, family, and time restraints often make the couple feel like they are often struggling to stand together against everything. Many times they feel like they can only rely on themselves to remain solid.

Yet, if their love is strong, they can weather all kinds of storms that may come thier way. Like that tree that hovered over the other, the couple needs to realize that at any given time, each of them can become that protecting tree and be the strong one in that relationship. They can be the one to offer comfort and protection to the other.

A relationship is one that is one of give and take. Apparently, those two trees gave and took together. They stood strong and tall in that field. If one of the trees had taken too much the other would not have survived. Same way if one person in a relationship takes too much the other does not survive. Compromise is key to a healthy relationship.

I hope that all of you who are in relationships find that you are like those two intertwined trees. Comfort, protect and compromise for each other and become strong like those trees. God bless.
