HOW TO AVOID PITFALLS IN A RELATIONSHIP

Growing old in health,love and wealth is the burning desire of many who believe in the wonderful institution called marriage.even as many couples desire to enjoy a fulfill old age together,irresponsibility to self and others around you,lack of discipline,lack of focus due to circumstances of life has caused many to live short of this glamorous life.you need knowledge and understanding to live and enjoy a successful marriage or relationship.through knowledge and understanding you will be able to handle matters in your relationships or marriage.
Wisdom is knowing what to do and doing it well.The truth is that until you actualize your knowledge into practice in other words doing is the key to access benefit.God want us to build the kind of relationships and marriages that will stand the test of time.i believe that your reading excerpts from a book titled build to last by Kenneth hagin jr will add the missing link in your relationship or marriages.


RESPECTING YOUR SPOUSE ROLE:
Marriage is setup or entered into to help two people,do together in unity what one of them cannot do alone ie they are expected to be friends first,then lovers and partners in everything.it is designed to bring increase to their lives.there is a saying that behind every successful man there is a woman,where you are today is a contribution of your wife or husband.
Establish a relationship that is based on communication and mutual respect. What is wrong in most marriages or relationship is basically because most couples don't communicate at all, they live as strangers and that, will not be beneficial to any of them in the end.
I know of a couple who have been in marriage for about forty years now and when asked in a interview what was the secret to their being in marriage for so long they said: neither of us has ever made a major purchase without the other agreeing to it first,we never contradict each other in front of the children,and when we quarrel we do it in privacy and never allow any third party input,we do a lot of talking you know he said laughing!
This is a couple having mutual understanding concerning everything in their lives and respecting their selves too.But in reality the heart of success in any relationship or marriage is sound communication between couples.it is vital in any relationship that the couple sit down to discuss issues as it relates to them ie their likes and dislikes so as to foster more understanding and closeness with each other.
Sadly enough there are many couples that cannot sit down today to say one or two sentences without being at each others throat.A good communication between couples is one that they are able to express themselves truthfully without holding anything back,and not being offended by the others response :saying i am right and he/she is wrong but be able to listen and agree to change his/her attitude so as to accommodate the other and live in respect and understanding with each other.if this can be done then you are on your way to enjoying a great lasting relationship.
Although some men are too macho to admit that they are wrong.A man who walks on the emotions of the wife and does not listen to her complains is actually weak.

The more you start developing your relationship or marriage the closer and more intimate you and your spouse becomes .Even though lasting marital success is becoming rare you have to work and build yours, to enjoy and experience a truly fulfilled life and marriage with you wife or husband .
So give it all it takes and success shall be yours
