Can You Stand The Rain?

“On a perfect day, I know that I can count on you When that's not possible Tell me can you weather the storm?

'Cause I need somebody who will stand by me Through the good times and bad times She will always, always be right there

Sunny days, everybody loves them Tell me baby can you stand the rain?

Storms will come This we know for sure (This we know for sure) Can you stand the rain?” – New Edition (Can You Stand The Rain)?


It is raining here today. As, I listened to the rain this song popped in my head. This is one of my all-time favorite songs by New Edition.


When I heard this song as a youngster it did not really have a meaning to me. Until, I grew older and really listened to the lyrics.


In relationships and marriages our mate is usually there during good times but as the saying goes, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going.”


My mother always told me, you can tell who your real friends are when you are down. I believe this also applies to relationships or marriages.


Everyone wants that ride and die stick by your side mate. We all want that person who is going to stick it out with us and help us make it through.


When relationships or marriages go bad..... People say, did you see the red flags? You did not see how she or he really was?!


Love is blind: so we usually see the good and not the bad.


If we all just saw the bad there would always be rainy days instead of sunny days.
