I forgot to mention last week that the next few messages at church were on the topic of relationships. Yesterday we discussed 4 important things you must have in your relationship in order for it to be positive.
1. You must give an receive encouragement. Everyone needs to be encouraged, be on the same team.
2. Give and receive comfort. Comfort isn't fixing a problem, its listening and getting it. Understanding how the other person needs to be comforted and being there to listen.
3. Give and receive motivation. Motivate your partner to accomplish their goals, help them to become better, help them to succeed.
4. Give and receive help and ask for it. Healthy relationships are a give and take. Having to much pride to ask for help can weigh you down. Know how to help when your partner needs you and know how to help them.
Darrin and I were cracking up at the pastor today. He was discussing the difference between how a man and how a woman handle a situation. I think everyone in the service felt like he was talking to them! It is so true, Darrin handles everything the WRONG way and I handle it the RIGHT way!! I just have to work on making him see that!! :)
