Temperament shapes how we respond to life and to each other. Some are naturally outgoing and expressive, while others are more reserved and analytical. When we recognize these differences, we shift from frustration to compassion.
God created us uniquely. Embracing those differences brings unity, not division. When we learn each other’s wiring, we strengthen not just the relationship, but our individual growth as well.
