What does God think? - Part 2

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says God, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you good hope and a good future. Jeremiah 29:11

Today, many relations are suffering because people don't have good thoughts towards each other. Thoughts are carried away in attraction, outside marriage. Some relations suffer because their thoughts are not good towards each other. Some have good thoughts, but they don't share with each other, there is a huge communication gap in the relations which causes the relation to suffer. In a relation more than anything, learn to hear out each other, whatever they say. When you correct each other, don't put them down, but do it lovingly and not with pride. Don't condemn them, but with love make the difference in them.

Its very important to understand, specially husbands, that their wife is their partner. Your household and your life is like a business and God has given you wife as a partner not as a slave. But she is your partner. If one partner backs out, your business is not going to run successfully. In a relation, both have different skill-sets, both are unique. Don't try to make the other person as your replica. You will not like it after sometime. Allow the other person to use their idea's and their skill-sets. If both the people involved in a relation use their skill-sets then that relation will not only see through, but will succeed. Don't only look to see through your relationship, but try to make it successful. In a bike, if either of the tyre gets punctured it does affect the whole functioning of the bike. The fuel consumption increases, the efforts and stress on the engine increases. That's what happens when in a relation, even one of the person is not allowed to express themselves, there is stress, which further affects the relationship.

Communication is the best channel to release the stress. Speaking to each other is very important. Involve God in your relation and see what He has to say. He will never ask you to break up your married life, because He is the one who established it. So divorce is a NO! There are extreme conditions which will have no options, but divorce. If you can save your marriage, do everything to save it, otherwise leave it in God's hand and He knows what is good for you.
