Powerful Strategies for a Thriving Relationship
1. Pray for and with your partner
In a relationship, your partner will sense your genuine love for them when you pray from the depths of your heart. He or she will feel well taken care of and assured that the future will be great will increase.
Everyone is looking for a partner that they know will be there for them spiritually. It is only carnal-minded individuals who don’t care a hoot about their partner’s spirituality.
You cannot place your spiritual responsibility on your loved one, but at least, you can be inspired by each other’s faith.
Thank God for cinemas and movies, but what about fasting and praying? Thank God for the Ice cream and the burgers, but what about some Christian books on marriage to read and discuss as well?
2. Have fun together
As spiritual as she may be, she wants to be taken out and sweet nonsense whispered into her ears. She finds that very romantic.
As much as he likes to take confessions, he also wants to hear you confess your love for him. As much as she wants you to share scriptures with her, she also wants to share popcorn and drink with you while at the cinema.
There must be a balance here. One must not be sacrificed for the other and you have to learn to create a balance.
There is a time for fasting and prayers towards your future home. There is a time for taking a walk and telling yourselves how much you love each other. There is a time for speaking in tongues together. There is a time for holding the tongue and listening to yourselves speak.
3. Surprise with gifts from time to time
It doesn’t have to be expensive if you are not buoyant, but you should trust God for constant supplies.
A large part of the brain is dedicated to shiny things in ladies. In men, it is gadgets. Anything that looks like a box, phones, cars, sound systems, and so on. But in women, it is anything shiny, shoes, bags, jewelry, and the likes. If you don’t agree, buy one of the above for your partner and watch out for the reaction.
4. Give adequate time and attention
You cannot negotiate this one. Time and attention are a sumptuous meal to every lady out there.
Listen to her talk and pour her heart out. Put yourself in her shoes and practice empathic listening. Hear what she is saying and what she is not saying. The same for the women too. Do not allow communication to die. Keep talking no matter what.
If you are not in the same city, make sure you contact each other daily unless you are working in a medieval forest where there are no communication networks. Otherwise, you have no excuse that you are so “busy” and you cannot call.
I really will not agree that a man can be so busy and cannot steal five minutes out of twenty-four hours to be in touch with the one he professes to love.
If he forgets to call from time to time, it is either he loves another wherever he is or he is deliberately developing cold feet towards the relationship. If a person loves you, their heart will be with you, and will stay in touch no matter what.
If you have not heard from your partner in three weeks, you are the only one in love.
It can be painful to be in love with someone who is not in love with you. It is a time waster and you should not waste your time on such. So, time and attention are very important to a relationship or marriage.
I pray that God will grant you more wisdom on this topic in Jesus’ name!
