Importance of relationships

Hello everyone,

I just want you all to know that my son is getting married next week.  Thanks be to God.  Relationships are very important whether we’re married or just in a relationship.

It’s very important that we become friends first and get to know that person because when this happens, we learn that person, we begin to care for that person and we become one with that person.  Relationships don’t work if we don’t become friends first.  They may work for a little bit but down the road things will change.

I feel in a relationship we need many things and I listed some of them below:

God
​Make sure we always put him first through all things the good and the bad and trust Him always
 
Love
Have love in your heart and good intentions for all people
 
Forgiveness
Know how to forgive even if it hurts you because it helps you
 
Humility
Don’t sweat the small stuff and know that everyone is important and should be respected
 
Patience
Always practice this because we’re not in control God is and He has a plan
 
Compromise
Be ready to do at times when you want it to work
 
Be you
Be yourself and show tough love.  It will benefits all
 
It’s not easy and that’s why our heads must be right when we’re dealing with others. NO relationship is perfect but it’s all about making each other better people and treating people with respect.

When you have a close friend, get to know that person as well because it's all about trust and loyalty.  

If you’re in a relationship, please think about these things because time can be wasted and we all deserve happiness. 

I've been married for 28 years and trust me it hasn't been easy all the time but to be honest we both have God in our lives and that's what kept us connected.

Amen and Thank You Lord
