13 Keys in RelationshipsSample

First things first…

When starting out in a new relationship or in marriage, the hopes are very high. The expectations of each other are high. However, one of the first keys to a successful relationship is to understand that our own happiness does not depend on what the other person does or does not do. Every person has some good traits and some not so good ones. Something in you will disappoint others, and something in others will eventually disappoint you.

Key 1: Strengthen your own walk with God

Establishing any healthy relationship starts with establishing a healthy personal connection with God. The more you allow God to work in your own heart, the more He can work in your relationship. The modern-day thought is that religion should make up about ten percent of our lives. God does not require you to be religious, He wants a father-child relationship with you where you can share anything with Him and where He comforts your heart in everything.

QUESTIONS TO ASK

>> What priority does spending time with God and in the Word take in your life? Is the Holy Spirit perhaps putting His finger on your devotional times with Him today?

>> Do you feel safe in sharing anything and everything with the Lord in prayer?

>> Take some time in prayer now to speak to the Lord about the things in your heart.
