More from the “Seeds of David”: Melinda
It’s hard to maintain close, intimate ties in the middle of a warzone, especially when two soldiers are needed to fight in very different battles. Communication between foot men in different parts of the war advancement are strained for sure. But take heart, for talking isn’t the only way you communicate. You can still smile. You can give a warm embrace. You can give a shoulder rub. You can say thank you for something, or many things, each day. These all speak volumes, and are more what you are meant to “say” during times of war, when speaking in words about this or that just gets you in a tangle and eyes off the battle or is a distraction. 
Just “speak” with affection and words of gratitude. This you can do, even if every other, or nearly every other means and way for a couple to find “unity” is cut off and hindered. You can communicate love and kindness, as Jesus’ love pours through you. So you can’t have a warm and cosy, relaxing relationship, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t to strengthen each other in the war effort. 
You can smile and cheer one another on in their charging forward, even if it means they have a tool in their hands, rather than walking hand and hand with you. Cheer them on and smile your approval for their best efforts to do what they are meant to do. Cheer them, and then let Jesus be the mate you so need and desire. 
And pray for them too, as this aids them to keep on keeping on, with less resistance and friction; and you’ll benefit from their ease of journey. Comfort your heart in Jesus, and then reach out to fortify another, with the comfort you received from Him.
