Relationships Part Two-Eros Love

 

This is the second part of my Relationship series. 

It speaks on love in romantic relationships such as marriages. 

Before marriage, of course, you love that person. You don't see yourself with anyone else besides them. Suddenly, they are all you are aware of. 

After marriage, you really see the depth of love you have for them. 

You see that it is a vulnerable place and it can scare you with the lengths you would go for that person. 

This person -your partner, is just not another ordinary person in your life, but they are someone that you truly care deeply for. 

Everything they do is magnetize to you.

I am no marriage counselor, but I do believe that the way you treat your spouse is very important. 

The quote says, are you ready to not only dream the same dream as them but help them achieve it?

Being married signifies the two becoming one. 

Not only sexually, but in everything you do. 

The two of you must now move as one complete unit. 

You must be able to move as a whole. 

The way you treat each other is what will determine how you move. 

If you speak down to one another or look down at one another, then you won't move as a unit. 

One will always be either behind and the other forward. 

Respect in a marriage goes a long way. 

Even if you do not agree with what your partner is saying, saying so respectively is the best way to do it. 

If your partner has a dream, assist them. Help them achieve it. 

If there is a goal inspired then work your best to go ahead and reach for it. 

Matthew 18:20 

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am present."

Unity is an important factor in marriage. This is why the devil works overtime to sway unity from the grasp of a husband and wife. 

With Eve, he waited until she was alone because he knew if Adam was present he wouldn't have won her. 

Same with marriages today. 

He is still working to separate the union to gain what he wants. 

Divorce. 

The absence of God's presence. 

He starts with the way you look at each other. He goes ahead and tampers with the way you would then speak to one another. He makes your view on each other impossible to comprehend. He guarantees that you don't understand each other and then he goes along and plants the idea that you two are no longer compatible. 

But who God has joined together, let no man break asunder. 

Take time to really see the devil's plan for your marriage and try your best to prevent this.

Stop and listen to what your spouse is saying and before you reply with harmful words, think about it. 

Try to understand the other before assuming that they are only meaning you wrong. 

Respect each other. 

Marriage is not easy and yes, differences will occur more times than you think but, we must try to look at it from a different angle. 

An angle that is not already preconceived by anger or distrust. 

I believe that your best advice would be God in this situation. 

Some cases, if not all of them when present in marriage can be taken to God and you wouldn't believe how fast he would fix them. 

Of course, you would need to have wisdom in what you would give to him and which ones He would give for you to handle on your own and how you can handle them, 

Just remember that we must give our full potential into our marriage and our spouse. We must be able to bear when they can't. 

It's not 50/50 but 100/100.
