Relationships

 

Relationships are important because it shows that you care about other people. A relationship doesn't necessarily mean a romantic one. It can be one you have with a friend or family or God, but a real authentic relationship should be one with trust and care for that other person. If you end up in a romantic relationship with someone that relationship has to have love as a main source because if you don't love that person you are with then what's the point of being in it in the first place. It doesn't just have to have love either because there is other aspects that go into it. Like trust and honesty.

 

Trusting someone can be hard and scary sometimes because you don't know if that other person will betray that trust, but we should still trust them even if that was going to be a thing plus if we are afraid of them betraying our trust then we will make mistakes and put pressure on the relationship. We should do what we can to not put pressure on the relationship because that's how they end. If we truly love that other person then we should anything we can to keep them from leaving and the way to do that is to make sure that there is no room for them to doubt us. That is where honesty comes in. Lying to our partners is going to make things worse in the long run because at some point they are going to find out that we are lying to them. Being honest with them might still cause issues, but it is better to be up front and honest instead of keeping everything to ourselves.

 

Now maybe at something in the future we want to marry that person, so we propose to them and now we are engaged (if they say yes that is) and then, if we're lucky, we get married. Marriage is a whole other ball park because now we get to spend the rest of our lives together with that person. That marriage has got be filled with love, trust, and honesty among other things if we want it to survive. There is going to be things that are going to pop up that is going to test that marriage and if we aren't on the same page with our husband or wife then it could potentially end in divorce.

 

In relationships we shouldn't so anything that is going to jeopardize that relationship because it could end with a friendship ending, a break up, or a divorce if we aren't in the relationship that should be our top priority and that is the one that we have with God. He is the only one who isn't going to leave us no matter what because He loves us so much. He will be disappointed in us sometimes because we, as humans, will fail a lot and we won't always do the right thing, but He will always be right there. Those other relationships will only last if we allow God to be a part of them right from the beginning because He can direct it in order for it to be long-lasting.
