EIGHT SMART IDEAS FOR LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP
If lasting relationship is what you desire to build, then read this.
In the midst of paying bills, cleaning the house, working long hours, and taking care of other responsibilities, it is easy to lose sight of the more important and long-term reasons for being together.
According to Dr. Jane Greer, a marriage and family therapist in New York City: “Successful couples quickly develop a mindfulness of ‘us,’ of being coupled…they have a shared vision, saying things like, ‘We want to plan to buy a house, we want to take a vacation to such-and-such a place, we like to do ‘X’, we thing we want to start a family at ‘Y’ time.’”
The most beneficial time to do this is at the beginning of a marriage, partnership, etc. Doing so sets a solid foundation upon which to build your life together. Another benefit of early and shared planning is that you are much more likely to make that dream a reality.
In any long-term relationship, physical intimacy (in any form) is far more than just physical. It’s important in maintaining the health of your emotional connection, as well. The physical act of love is something that only you two share and revel in. It’s also important in reigniting the passion and bringing you back together if you drift apart.
As with most elements of a relationship, it is easy to spark this physical connection in the beginning. It’s more difficult with work, finances, kids, home, physical changes, and whatever else makes intimacy more difficult.
Prioritizing intimacy with your partner is a great way to keep the passion flowing. The stresses that come with work, finances, and family will only be a minor roadblock as you continue to re-discover your physical attraction for one another.
Maybe… but consider pondering this for just a moment: communication is the common denominator in everything involved in a relationship. It can be at the beginning, middle, or end phases of a relationship. It is involved in everything, big or small – buying a car or home, sharing emotions, wanting kids, forgetting to pay the bill, taking the garbage out…everything involves being able to communicate effectively.
Communication is also a vital element in understanding each other. You may think that you already know your partner, but do you know about their day? Do you know if they’re overwhelmed, feeling sick, unappreciated, or a hundred other things they may be thinking or feeling? Open communication is the only way to maintain equilibrium while further progressing in a relationship.
Good communication is all about being comfortable enough to tell your partner anything – good or bad. Understandably, we don’t want to hurt each other’s feelings by being abrupt and straightforward. However, that is part of open communication: being honest whether you do or don’t feel like it.
The fact that relationships do get stressful and busy is exactly why you should reiterate your appreciation of your partner. Is your woman beautiful to you no matter what? Tell her such. Does your man work overtime to provide for the family? Tell him how much it’s appreciated.
(Men, don’t forget to tell your partner that they’re beautiful…just don’t.)
Personal change is a natural process in life, but we often don’t accommodate for these changes in our relationships. For both people, it is important to assess where you’re at and let your partner know what you need. If you don’t communicate this change, trouble often follows.
So just know what you’re thinking and feeling, let your partner know (communication!) and be honest. Understand that change is inevitable, and this applies to two people in love.
Be thoughtful and empathetic with the other person’s view on something. Don’t hear their response and immediately become defensive, insisting that you should have the final say. If you are unsure about why your partner thinks the way that they do, just ask questions for clarity.
For smaller decisions, simply take turns allowing each other to decide. If you picked the place to eat dinner, then allow your partner to choose which movie you will see.
Further, it’s not enough to mumble “I’m sorry…” while your partner is walking away. Sincerity and eye contact are important elements to any apology. Forego your pride and state your apology with meaning.
Also, learn to accept each other’s apology. Stubbornness can also be present on the recipient’s side; so if your partner is sincerely apologetic, accept the words with sincerity and move on.
No relationship is perfect. It doesn’t matter how great a relationship appears from the outside, there are always going to be trials. It’s part of sharing a life with a person that is different in some way.

What Do I Gain?

Benefits of Having the Fear of the LORD (1)
MEDITATION
Benefits of Having the Fear of the LORD (1)
Psalms 111:5 "He gave food to those who fear him, He remembered to keep his ancient promise." MSG
Point to ponder on: God is a covenant keeping God, He is faithful regardless of time and meets the need of those who fear Him.
To fear the LORD is to reverently obey His word and to treat every sacred thing with a humble and contrite heart. You have not seen God with your naked eyes but you have read His word and with the same word we will all be judged. How you treat God's word is a proof whether you fear Him or not. Any act of disobedience to God's word or dishonour to sacred things is a show that the fear of the LORD is lacking. This fear of the LORD doesn't make us to fidget before Him but rather produce humility and awe in us to confidently depend on Him and reach out to Him. God takes note of those who fear Him and He will reward them accordingly. Let us search the scriptures together and find out some benefits you stand to gain when you fear the Lord.
Benefits(Ps.111:5)
1.He will not allow you to go hungry.This comes in two folds that spiritually those who fear God are fed with the spiritual truth from the revelation of the word of God so that there shall never be any hunger of the spirit not fed by the revelation of God's word and likewise the provision for physical food.
2.He supplies your needs. Both spiritual and physical food are basic needs of a believer and those who fear Him have nothing to worry about because He will supply their needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
3.He is committed to keeping His long established covenant with you. God will fulfil every promise in His word concerning you as a believer who fears Him.
From the scripture above we can see three benefits and we shall find out more as we dig deeper into the Holy scriptures. It pays to fear the LORD by reverently obeying His word fully.
To fear the Lord requires that the spirit of the fear of the Lord rests upon you, so pray for an impartation. I pray that the spirit of the fear of the Lord will rest upon you as it was on Christ Jesus as revealed by the prophecy of Isaiah 11:1-2 in Jesus name.
I celebrate you.
Good morning. Enjoy His favour.

Benefits of Having the Fear of the LORD (2)
MEDITATION
Benefits of Having the Fear of the LORD (2)
Psalm 112:1-3 "Praise you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly in his commandments. His descendants shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures forever.
Point to ponder on: A person who fears the LORD is a blessed person.
What will the fear of the LORD do for you?
1. The fear of the Lord makes you a blessed person. You receive a divine enabling to attract blessings and prosper in all you do because 'the blessing of God' rests upon your life.
2.The blessing rubs on your children and spiritual children and that of generations to come, they shall be robust and great upon the earth. The blessing extends because of your fear of the LORD that makes you upright before Him.
3.The blessing attracts wealth and riches and the righteous life you live remains for life.
It pays to fear the LORD(reveres, worships and obeys His word) let us teach our children and the young ones to do same. As we worship and obey Him in everything we do this week, His blessing will attract good tidings to us in Jesus name.
I celebrate you.
Good morning. Enjoy a great week ahead.

Make The Most of Every Opportunity
MEDITATION
Make The Most of Every Opportunity
Ephesians 5:15-16 "Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." NIV
Point to ponder on: Wisdom is in action when you prepare yourself for the greater good and take advantage of the opportunities life presents to you.
According to Alice Foote MacDougall, "Success of life depends upon keeping one's mind open to opportunity and seizing it when it comes."
Only the prepared takes advantage of the opportunity that comes his or her way. Always make yourself ready.
I celebrate you.
Good morning. Do have a great day.

I See You Doing Greatly
MEDITATION
I See You Doing Greatly
Proverb 4:18 "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day." Kjv2k
Point to ponder on: It doesn't matter the pot holes on your road to destiny there is an unveiling of a shinning path ahead of you.
So excited about your life especially because you are the redeemed of the Lord and God has credited righteousness for you who believe in Him. Now you have been justified by the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, therefore, there is hope than ever before that tomorrow will be better than yesterday and that everyday brings in new glory because you are on the shinning path that evolves continually until the day of the LORD.
Beloved, do not settle for less because of the momentary challenges of life, they are normal things we face in life but you can be rest assured that God will make a way for you and perfect everything that concerns you. Sequel to this, as you journey in this new season, let your focus be on the greater good the LORD has in store for you and I pray in the name of Jesus you shall take a delivery of them all.
I celebrate you.
Good morning. Enjoy His peace.
