13 Keys in RelationshipsSample

Key 7: Help each other grow in your relationship with God.

If only one of you gives importance to the spiritual condition of your relationship, then it will not be balanced, and the "boat" will sink on the side of the unbelieving. Make it a goal as a couple to help each other grow in faith especially when one of you is weak. Do not just remind each other to pray, read the Bible, or go to church—but do them together.

Key 8: Be reminded that your partner is fearfully and wonderfully made by God.

At times when you are tempted to compare your partner to someone you think to be better, or you wish they were someone else, please remember that the same God who created you as a unique person is the same God who created him/her as well. Appreciate your partner for who they are, because like you, they are loved and special to the Lord.

QUESTIONS TO ASK

>> Be honest before the Lord—do you wish your partner to be like someone else? Or do you constantly compare them with someone else? Speak to Him about these thoughts and ask the Holy Spirit to show you your partner from His perspective.
