Relationship Booster: Accept Human Limitations

We can only be close to perfection, but we can’t be perfect. It would only be frustrating to expect perfection from anyone. We must learn to accept this reality that no one can be everything to you, and that you also can’t be a hundred percent. No matter how self sufficient we are, we will always need others as much as they need us. And no matter how strong we or others are, we always have a breaking point.

Human’s needs are insatiable and as such no matter how super hero your man is, or how virtuous your woman is, he/she can’t be everything you want from her or do everything you desire. He/she is only human with limitations, so learn to enjoy whatever it’s in their human capacity and capability to do.

When we newly got married, because I knew myself to be conscientious and up to the task. I put myself in that perfection state, and so will often feel bad as though I am not human when my husband points out my limitations, until I learnt that I could be called an angel, but I am only human.

I recently counseled a woman, who is dissatisfied that she couldn’t get more from her man. She wanted her man to be everything and anything she ever wanted.  She wanted her man to meet her financial, emotional, physical and intellectual and every other need. I put it to her that although we might call our men emperors, warriors and kings  and call our women virtuous women, empress and queens, it does not rule out the fact that we are all still flesh and blood.

And that it’s okay to be human and shouldn’t be used against us that we are human. We need to learn to accept ourselves, there isn’t a miracle as great as letting your partner be who they are and not putting them under pressure to be who they are not, and also not to expect from selves what we cannot be or do. The earlier we live with this reality, the more enjoyable our relationships would be. For as much as the head is the lead of the body, its limitations are so many, it cannot walk, neither can it sit, nor clap, nor so is it with men.

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 Block: Practice Confession

Confession is powerful, negative or positive. Meanwhile, Confession should not only be limited to declaration of wrongs, crimes, sins or transgression. You can as well openly confess to the world how much you love your spouse. You can confess to your partner how much you can't do without him/her in it's truest sense. Confess to your children how your world is centered around their mum or dad and how having them is more than a blessing too. Though, your partner may already know some of this confessions, it would be so reassuring for you to boldly declare it and unashamedly say it in the witness of one, two or more people. Other times, your partner doesn't even know, it would be so empowering to clear his/her doubts about your love, shatter his/her ignorance that you do not care and cripple any channel for finding you an alternative. Many times, my husband gives our children very awesome name, we would often call our daughter "Sweet crush" and "Golden star...
