Relationship and Marriage.

Interestingly, while surfing the internet, I came across four powerful nuggets about relationships and marriage. I'll share them without any addition or subtraction and let you learn from them as well.

“First: If you can't be a good boyfriend/ girlfriend, you can't be a good husband/wife either. Marriage doesn't automatically give you some ability or take away your bad habits or behaviors. It takes years of practice to have strong core values and qualities.

Second: Never control your partner; let them do exactly what they want. That's how you find out what they actually respect. Control hides character. Freedom exposes what someone chooses when unrestrained — it tells you everything about their values, boundaries, and respect.

Third: In a relationship, conflict is inevitable; the goal should be getting better at resolving it with each other. A new problem is always going to arise as long as the earth is spinning and the sun, the moon, and the stars are undergoing their phases; you have to learn how to face the fire together.

Fourth: The loneliness that you feel when you're single is nothing compared to the pain when you're with the wrong person — especially in the context of a marriage. You'll feel like you're in prison.”

Selah!
