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 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...

Relationship Building Block: Little Gesture

 Little things are significant, especially when done consistently. Little act of kindness, kind words, kind visit, kind call, little gift, little smiles, discreet prayers, and simple text messages has the most lasting impact on relationships than the big gift we never give, and the big vacation we are too busy to plan.  Many wait for big wins, ignoring little wins which are the sweetest, longest, and the quickest way that sum up to big wins. Just as mustard seed looks tiny, yet when mixed with actions of planting, brings the tallest tree. Likewise our small gesture of love and kindness, will yield big results and emotions.  Nothing is too small to give or too little to do. Any small thing done in love and with love turns big in the heart of the significant other. Love is a big word and act, so anything done in the spirit of love multiples and return back with seeds, fruits and trees.  The idea is that big things often takes more time, money and effort for it to happe...
