MARRIAGE GEM
" What you don't know about your partner or relationship will be killing your relationship gradually and daily till one day you wake up and hear your partner packing to leave the relationship". Sometimes when young people are told that LOVE is not enough to build a lasting marriage they wonder how true it is but that is the perfect truth. LOVE may start a relationship but you need something more than LOVE to build and hold that relationship or marriage. Most times what people call LOVE is not really LOVE but rather lust, infatuation or a chemicals called hormones running through their bodies. We've witness wonderful loving couples who because of the romantic attraction they had decided to settle down in marriage only to become deadly enemies later and head to the court of law for divorce. We'll be continuing our practical steps in building a successful lasting relationship with the alphabet letter K.
K : KNOWLEDGE - The great Apostle-Peter after years in marriage and following JESUS gave one of the best way to keep a marriage and that is to live with each other in . Most couples are disappointed because their partners whom they thought were spiritual, tongues speaking, intelligent or educated are not able to live with them and meet their needs as they have expected. The power and influence of ***knowledge*** in relationship building can never be over emphasis. Having the right knowledge about your partner and what relationship is all about will give you the tools to save your relationship from many troubles. Many people are praying to get into relationship and marriage but are not preparing for it. Marriage is a journey, someone is already in, they know what you don't know, they have seen what you haven't seen and it's prudent to go for knowledge from them. Learning by observation, experience, listening and reading is the best way to acquire knowledge. In fact, the reason why most people in our generation are struggling in their relationships and marriages is because the ignorance is too much, they don't like to learn. After the initial stage of LOVE that brought them together is gone, they don't know what to do in order to keep the relationship or marriage going. Out of frustration many couples break their relationships because they claim they don't have LOVE for their partners anymore and then goes round looking for another person whom they can start another season of romantic LOVE with. But who told them they need to be "feeling LOVE" in order to stay in a relationship. Having the right knowledge about what relationship is all about, your partner's temperament, background, LOVE language, likes and dislikes, upbringing, passions, strength and weakness can go a long way to help build your relationship. If you are confused in your current relationship then it's because you are lacking some knowledge to fix certain things in your relationship. From today, expose yourself to knowledge because GOD has said "my people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge" and not beauty, money, prayer, or spirituality.
KNOWLEDGE IS THE KEY TO LIVE WITH YOUR PARTNER IN WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW IS WHAT IS DESTROYING YOUR RELATIONSHIP. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE CAN MAKE YOUR PARTNER BECOME A TOTAL STRANGER TO YOU.
THE NEXT MISTAKE YOU ARE ABOUT TO COMMIT IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS IN SOMEONE'S BOOK - GO FOR IT AND ENJOY IT!!! ✌
