WAYS IN INVESTING IN LIFE LONG RELATIONSHIPS
The rate of the world's civilisation keeps scaling upwards. Right from the time when great inventions began up until now, tremendous output and manifold fascinating productions have not ceased.
The knowledge to know more and become more in various fields has always been the driving force for all the happenings we see today.
Unfortunately, the aspect of family, relationships and marriages seem not to be included in the success rates of such witty developments Why? Because many fail to pursue the knowledge that can make a positive and beautiful turn around for their happiness in their relationships and marriages.
A lot of people get carried away with aspiring to be the best in their fields, careers or professions, yet, at the expense of their family or marriages.
Nothing gets better without the application of a certain level of knowledge that is able to bring possible transformation.
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3 (KJV)
Having to get a life long marriage relationship is possible despite the rate of marriage failures or divorce stories we hear daily. Making marriages or relationships targeted for marriage work isn't child's play. It requires a lot of sacrifice just like how getting any achievement or promotion in our careers or aspirations of life takes from us.
Who says you can't have a lovely relationship, who says your marriage can't be the talk of the town, who says your marriage can't be enviable or one to be emulated?
The mistake many make when it comes to marriage is by leaving it to chance. Listen and never forget this:_ Surely love can make people go into a marriage commitment, but love alone won't be enough to make them stay continually happy in that marriage.
Quite a number of things should be put in perspective if one is to have a life long marriage. Let's take a look into what these building blocks of having a life long relationship entails and how to invest all it takes in getting it right from the outset.
1). If you must have the "happily ever after" kind of marriage, you have got to embrace the One whose nature is unconditional love.
Wanting to have a great love life first becomes easy when you choose to know and let the one who is Love himself come into your life. It's simple! Only believe that God though Christ Jesus came to die for your sins and also confess him as your Lord and Savior and that's it. By so doing, you allow your spirit to receive love eternal; this makes you capable of loving someone unconditionally and you get the best when you live by His principles for life in every aspect.
2) Find someone who has also received this kind of love or relationship with the Father.
For two people to walk in the same direction means they both have agreed to do so. In the same vein, the second most important factor in investing rightly after becoming the right person, is to go after or choose someone who has the same love system as you only then can you be assured of God kind of marriage but it doesn't end there.
3)Find someone who is committed to a lasting relationship.
Don't just go for a relationship because everyone else is or because you are in the period of heat or for whatever wrong reasons. Go into one knowing well that this person has committed themselves to you by their actions, words and decisions. Let them clearly state it out to you or vice versa. Discuss on what might cause a divorce or separation and deal with it before commitments are made.
4) Don't date or just go into a relationship with someone who isn't ready for marriage.
If they don't see themselves getting married in at most one year, then pack your legs out. Whatever needs to be taken care of before commitments are made such as a good job, a career pursuit, a getting a befitting accommodation and so on, can be in the period of friendship not whilst in the relationship. Many of such relationships where they don't from the outset make marriage their goal hardly or never culminate into marriage only regrets, heart breaks and bitter experiences.
5) Do not invest in any one who is just out of a failed marriage or is separated.
What they need is time, space and healing in other to learn and apply what they didn't know or do right in their previous relationships. No matter what you do to show love to them, they can't handle it. Their broken hearts are like sieves which whatever poured in will eventually leak out, and can only be repaired with time. Give them space!. Let their hearts be mended by God alone who mends broken hearts.
6) Be matured in your response.
No matter how you feel the relationship they are into isn't right, it's completely wrong to want to woo them into starting off another with you. It's only sane you respect their decision to be with someone else and not you. If you really love them so much, you would wish and hope the best for them in their relationship and commitment to someone else.
True love isn't about a person, it's about your decision to love.
These are valid when thinking of going into a marriage commitment with anyone. Once these are gotten right, whats left is for you both to keep increasing in the knowledge and applying the wisdom to making each of you happy and restful in your marriage. This is God's will for each of us.
