LOVE'S QUADRUPLET

Dear friend, as you must have observed every Saturday I share with you tips that can help you enjoy the kind of beautiful relationship God desires you to have. Today I'm sharing four things God placed in my heart for your relationship and marriage. I call it Love's Quadruplet.

1. PRAY: Take out time regularly to pray together and especially individually. The place of prayer is more important than our words can emphasize. When we pray we allow God show us things , inspire us and direct us. Praying for your relationship and for your partner is one of your key responsibilities in a relationship. Sometimes as you pray God uses you to spiritually take care of things that your partner has overlooked. Two are better than one. The Bible says when one falls, the other can pick him up. The place of prayer is a place where you can "pick up" your partner. As a natural rule, the more you pray for a person, the more you believe in them and the less you attack/criticize them.

2. WORK: Get a job or start a business. Right from the begining, work preceeded relationships. The man was made and given work to do before he was given a woman. But working is not just for men. Proverbs 31 talks of the tireless commitment of the virtuous woman to work. Two loafers will only be liabilities to each other and then, will waste away. When you commit yourself to working, without knowing it you are improving the quality of the person you are offering your partner as a gift. The more of a worker you are, the more of an asset you become. Even if you do not have a job, make a job out of the pursuit of your dreams and visions. Commit to working. Tirelessly pursue the dreams God has given you. Work and labour to see those dreams fulfilled.

3. GIVE: Giving brings a sense of accomplishment into your heart and causes a harvest to flow in your direction. Many people often fast and do lots of other things to see their relationships and homes prosper and enjoy the blessings of God but they often forget to include corporate giving. By corporate giving I mean that the both of you come together and from time to time you select people to bless and support. You do not have to have much before you share with others. If what you have in your hands is not sufficient to meet your need, instead of eating it, convert it to a seed. As you give and give you create a cloud of opportunities that will pour its rain someday when you both need it but most important is that your relationship will experience more joy and happiness because as you bless others, in return joy fills your heart. So, today find people to bless together. You can start with your parents and family members.

4. DEDICATION: Here I am not talking of your dedication to your partner as it were, although that is very important. The focus today is your dedicatoon first to God. Over the years I have witnessed some relationships and marriages fall apart because the individuals no longer placed value on their dedication to God. You see, God is the centre and when the center no longer holds, things fall apart. Our lives revolve around Jesus Christ; it is He who holds all things together. When we deviate from making our lives all about Him, our relationships/marriages come under severe attacks and eventually give way. To help strengthen your personal dedication towards God, I counsel that you belong to a sound church and to a service department there where you participate actively in promoting God's agenda on the earth and in the lives of others. So, as you both pray, work and give, make your lives all about Jesus
