Be Proactive, Not Reactive in your Relationship and Marriage

Reading Time: < 1 minute

There is one key that I know works for every relationship.  It works on the principle of being proactive rather than reactive.

When you are proactive, you are intentional, and that’s what we all have to do in our relationship. Every relationship has benefits to offer. God created man not to be an island but to leverage relationships in such a way that your weakness finds strength in the other person or partner.

Our relationships offer a complimentary advantage. One can only chase 1,000, while two will put 10,000 to flight.

Being proactive in relationships involves taking initiative, showing responsibility, and consistently making efforts to strengthen the bond. It also involves not allowing the weaknesses of others to determine your actions or feelings.

Many people have a hard time coping with the inadequacies of their partners.  Their response to their partner is based on whatever their partner does.

Our response should be based on our core values, understanding of our purpose, and that of our relationship.

Anytime we are proactive rather than reactive, we become the bigger person- walking in love as against rendering evil for evil and tit for tat.

Let this be your rule in whatever relationship you are in.
