Relationship Boosters: Avoid Misplacing Priorities

Often times, we place what should start our priority list at the very end, we empower what should not be and dispower what should actually be and then we find out that, we are dissatisfied and displaced.

A number of relationships suffer from misplaced priorities. In our early years of marriage, I nearly tread that path of placing my career above my marriage, but I have a husband who will not settle for less, who won’t let anything come above our marriage after God.

I am thankful he didn't let us settle for less, rather we went for more. And just when our marriage was rightly placed and positioned, then our career fell in a better state.  We place our marriage above my choices and his preferences, everything we do, we do it for US. We also place people above things and achievements, to us family is everything and it has helped us a great deal.

Do you care to know why it has to be my husband or nobody else and why he is my topmost priority? It is because he also placed me as his first, second and third priorities and that way, I can’t stop living for him and won’t stop making him the life that I live.

"Whatever we place value on, is what will in turn add value to us". And the beautiful part of it, is that anyone can retrace to have a value rearrangement if need be.

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, ...
