We gravitate toward relationships where we get connection, closeness, acceptance, and approval. An essential part of our human nature is the need to belong. God designed us to start in relationship and continue with relationships. How do we grow relationships with intention and attention?
Commitment. It’s not a word that is very popular today. Ads will frequently say: Free for 30 days. No commitment. No long term contract. This is a reflection of our culture as it celebrates the freedom of choice. However, on the topic of marriage relationships, commitment should be a treasured word. There is freedom in knowing that your life partner will stick with you for infinite days.
God’s love does not keep us from trials, but His love sees us through them.
How can we improve our communities by accepting our differences with respect? It starts within the walls of our own home.
