Everybody
(from the onset of life) desires to have successful relationship, this is
proven by the fact that a child has the ability to visualise the kind of life
he/she wants to live and pursue it from that tender age.
As
a child grows, the effects of environment start to take their toll on him/her.
The environment of a child includes:
1.The
family.
2.The
school.
3.Religion
organisation.
4.The
society.
5.The
government (especially policies, and fulfillment or non-fulfillment of
promises).
6.Peer
Group.
These
elements of the environment can make or mar the futuristic vision of any child,
but one can still make good choices at adulthood. The time frame of coming back
to one’s senses is just the (only) thing that matters. It will be good for a
child to come to his/her senses at 25 years old than at 50 years.
The traits of success
is never inbuilt but developed
A
child of successful parent needs the help of the parents to be successful, and
a child of parents who are not successful may not (so much) depend on his/her
parents to be successful – everyone (aside from the inputs of the parents) has
a lot to play in whether he or she is successful or not.
Just
like every other area of life, one must have a successful relationship to
maintain balance in life, but how can anyone be successful in relationship when
there is no standard principle to adhere to?
Let
us show you how.
Success in
relationship affects all facets of life
When
you realise that to fail in your (godly) relationship could mean failure in
every other area of your life, you will do it right. You will expend all that
you have to make sure that your relationship is successful. After all, it is
your life (and your privacy for that matter) to which you do not need anyone to
help you maintain but yourself alone!
Some
of the things you need to do in order to have a successful relationship are to:
1.Be
born again before having a relationship, and ensure that your would-be partner
is, also, born again.
2.Be
positive minded about the success of your relationship.
3.Be
open-minded with your partner.
4.Learn
to communicate your fear with each other.
5.Learn
to communicate your displeasure with each other.
6.Be
determined to make the relationship work.
7.Consistently
plan and revise your plans, together.
8.For
the habit of prayer and studying of the Bible (whether together or
individually).
9.Ensure
that you both preserve your Christianity.
10. Then, discover, preserve and maintain your
God’s given purposes on earth.
Billy
Joe said, “To communicate is to mutually
understand one another, and it is both verbal and nonverbal. People communicate
by their actions and tone of voice… the tone of voice can speak louder than the
words”.[1]
Our final advice
If
you were a man in relationship, let it be your priority to protect and provide
for your family, because, “… if any
provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath
denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel”. 1 Timothy 5:8, KJV.
As
for the woman, it must be your priority to love, cherish, and look after your
home (children and husband, accordingly). “Who
can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies… She riseth also
while it is yet night, and give meat to her household, and portion to her
maidens… Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of
the land”. Proverbs 31:10, 15, 23, KJV.
If
you needed a successful relationship, then, observe what have been said in this
article, from the beginning till the end.
Thank
you for reading.
