Visiting family and friends isn&#8217;t all young lovers do during winter holidays. Young lovers also deepen their romantic relationships, choosing to get engaged, setting a summer wedding date, rather than limiting their relationships at &#8220;only dating&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting married once and for all time<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In fact, December is the most popular month for couples getting engaged. Soon after accepting a marriage proposal, as many as 27% of women pick up the telephone and share the news with a best friend. A sign in today&#8217;s world that brides believe that their marriages will last forever is the fact that 75% of new brides change their Facebook status after they exchange wedding vows with the man they love.<\/p>\n<p>On average, an engagement last 14.7 months, as shared by MSN. When it comes to taking engagement photos, 69% of couples who agree to tie the knot make a trip to a photographer&#8217;s studio so they can take a picture, perhaps grabbing at the chance to solidify their love.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Measuring the depth of true love<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, for some couples the wedding never happens. Arguments, school, finances and other people come between these couples, making it hard for them to communicate. But, that doesn&#8217;t mean that the relationship is over permanently. Temporary lulls interrupt the best relationships, if not before a wedding then after a wedding.<\/p>\n<p>The question is if true love can withstand the toughest knocks. The question is if a couple that once loved each other deeply can find their way back to love after the heat in their relationship has turned as cold as a hard winter day. Brenda and Raymond explore these challenges very deeply in <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Love Pour Over Me<\/span><\/strong>.
