RELATIONSHIP QUESTIONS

WHO WAS YOUR BEST RELATIONSHIP TEACHER AND WHAT DID THEY TEACH YOU?



C*****S - ALWAYS IMPROVE YOURSELF.



My dad. I learned how much "For Better or worse" truly meant in a marriage. My dad took care of a sick wife, and a sick child. Sometimes they were broke, and sometimes they fought, but he never gave up. Marriage has it's ups and downs, but you can't just quit it when you don't feel like it anymore...you need to work at it.



my parents. they made me aware of the things that i don't want in a marriage. They have been married for 34 years this year...there still together, its a dysfunctional love lol.



S***E - Listen to yourself it will never prove you wrong. I knew my ex was cheating but I didn't listen to the signs... ignored the red flags. I had to learn that lesson the hard way.



My history teacher. She taught me how to laugh at myself instead of getting mad every time someone was laughing at something I did.



My parents- Their inability to function as a couple showed me what not to do. Once my mother got into a healthy relationship and I realized what it was like in an unflawed, functional relationship I learned how to love, how to listen, how to be a good person for my significant other.


We are constantly evolving. We are constantly learning. We take something, even if its negative turned positive or negative kept negative, and use it to change our patterns; if we are smart. If we don't change our patterns, we continue on the same path until we finally decide to change. Sometimes, for some, its easy. For others, it takes a lifetime. A day to day battle, learning, loving, growing. Getting closer to till death do us part. Legal or illegal.

MESSAGE FROM VICTORIA OSTEEN

When Joel and I got married, I like my own way, and when I didn't get it, I wasn't happy. Then God spoke clearly to me: Victoria, if you don't change the way you're acting, you're going to change the man you married.
Well, that got my attention, because I didn't want to change Joel's personality. I love Joel. That's why I married him. I knew that I had to be willing to make some changes.
In many relationships, after time, people neglect to walk in love. One day, they realize that their hearts have changed. You hear it all the time: We just grew apart."
Joel and I remind ourselves often that God brought us together. He's got a good plan for our marriage. You need to remind yourself that God has put that person in your life, and He's got good things in store. If you will do your part by being kind, respecting one another, treating each other the way you want to be treated, God will do His part, and you can live in love!

SO I ASK WHAT IS GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR MARRIAGE?
