You must know how to give names
Adam named all the animals, from cattle to the fowl of the air and every beast of the field. He became a nomenclature expert.
To succeed in relationship management, you must learn how to give names appropriately to everybody around you.
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him (Genesis 2:20 KJV)
Your boss is your superior; he is not your lover. Things should not be turned upside down. Especially if he is married. Both singles and couples should know this to avoid stories that touch the heart!
Your lecturer is meant to teach you academics, and not take you to bed for practicals.
Dear Youth Corper, you are meant to teach that young girl Chemistry, not take advantage of her naivety and take her to bed. If you do that, Chemistry will soon become Physics and the law of gravity will take its course. You go down when you trifle with such things!
He is your colleague, not one to discuss your marital challenges lest there be an emotional connection. As couples, you don’t discuss your marital issue with another married fellow of the opposite sex. That will be counterproductive!
Let the cattle remain as cattle and let the fowls remain as fowls.
The scripture above says Adam named every cattle, but there was not found a help met for him.
For Singles, the implication is that not everybody can become your spouse. You cannot be falling in love with everybody that comes your way and keep saying you can’t help it.
There are friends, acquaintances, classmates, and colleagues, yet none qualify as a spouse until the direction issue is settled with God.
Don’t settle with cattle, or fowl, or beast of the field, wait for your Adam or Eve! What would have happened if Adam had looked at the female baboon and said this is the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh…you can guess how you will look today!
Finally, for couples, it is important to establish boundaries especially emotionally. Desist from getting emotionally entangled with someone else aside from your spouse. May God help us all.
