Relationship Boosters: Mentality of Give and Take

"Give me, Give me Attitude" shortens the life span of any relationship, because life is a give and take, while death is a take and take. Any relationship without an exchange (give and take) will soon be dead. When anyone takes too much from a relationship than they give, life is being taken away from it gradually. 

He who only knows how to take and not to give, becomes a parasite and might never be "A can't do without person". We should give, not because the other person lacks, but because we need to make deposits in order to withdraw for account not to show danger.

I had lost friends in the past because of this deficiency, not because I wanted anything back, but because we all need to bring something to the table (time, effort or money) even if it’s not equivalent. Just like the image above is a moment of reunion, where we shared value.

God GIVES us life and we GIVE him the glory. Our parent GIVE birth to us and we GIVE them honor. A man GIVES the bride price and the woman GIVE UP her maiden name. Jesus GAVE UP his life and TAKES the highest name. Many times, we often GIVE our money to TAKE up a value (goods or services). Life is a give and take and not a take and take.

Don't be such a person, when the only time you give anyone a call or visit is when you need something from them. Let's not be users of men, rather let's be men of honor and good relationship. Men who longs to give as much as they also take.

RELATIONSHIP BOOSTER: Love What He Loves

The proof of love is showing genuine interest in what interests your lover. Help him love it and join him to love it. Loving it just the way she loves it, is the cheapest way to her heart. Don't be disinterested in what interests your partner.  There is no one who truly care about what you care for, that won't be dear to you. Just like, we naturally like people who sames resemblance with us, shares our hobbies, bears same name with us, come from our state, even a stranger who knows and calls us by your first name. Even God is not an exception of this relationship block and booster. Friendship with the world is enemity with God. It simply means, we show love by loving what our lover loves. We must not be lover of self more than lover of God. By doing His will, we show that we love him. It's no pretence to genuinely be interested in what she values and in what matters to him. It's simply you making a strong statement that "I prioritise you, and I value what you value...

Relationship Building Block: Practice Tri-Dimensional Love

There are three dimensions to love; three sides to love we must attain for a lifelong union. The first is to love with our heart, second is to love with our soul and the third is to love with our strength. Many times, we either love at one dimension or at most two dimensions instead of the whole three dimensions which is the perfect love.  The first step of love is with our heart, it's love at feelings stage (emotions). If desired, it transcend to loving with our mind and will, that's where commitment sets in (we find reasons to love on) and the last leg of love is loving with our strength (supporting our professed love with lifelong actions), where we spend our effort, time, strength, money on/for same person.  True and perfect love will not give up at the first or second stage, it would always love on. Loving at these three dimensions may be costly, but the rewards and benefits are lifelong. We are truine being, we are a spirit, that has a soul and lives in a body, as such, ...
