Lovely greetings to you from Love and You on Treasure Network.
Thank you for joining us on today's edition.
PREPARATION FOR RELATIONSHIP. Part 6
In our previous series we established that before you talk about being compatible with a partner, you should ask yourself if you really like this person.
If someone likes you but you don’t feel the same way for the person, that is not a healthy start for a relationship. You should not allow some one force love on you.
You should have a relationship with someone you really like for reasons that are easy to understand.
We shall continue from here.
3. AGREEMENT
This is another item to bear in mind while preparing for a relationship. Agreement is fundamental to the success of any romantic relationship. The Bible says that were there is agreement, there is much power.
You can't afford to build a lasting marital bond with someone you don't agree with. Such relationship will not stand the test of time.
You need someone who sees most things the way you do. That doesn't MEAN that if compatibility exists between you and that person, you will always agree on every issue. No, far from it.
Compatibility doesn't mean that your partner becomes a robot who accepts anything you do no matter what. You and that person are separate individuals and different personalities, so, no matter how you agree on certain issues, you will still have some areas of disagreement. Such areas of disagreement is a key to balance into your relationship.
Such disagreement will never threaten the harmonious bond in your relationship if both of you are compatible. You can't disagree with malice, anger or bitterness. It takes maturity to realise that disagreement doesn’t mean that person doesn’t respect you as a person.
You have to be emotionally secure to know that your partner loves you and is thinking of your very best interest even when he/she disagrees with some of your seemingly good ideas. Some people are insecure so they interpret any form of disagreement as an attack on their person.
But no matter how you see things, there is a place where you should both agree. This is the place of life philosophy, principles and values. If you both agree on certain values and principles, you will eventually work things out no matter how much you disagree on certain issues.
That's it for today's edition.
Until we come your way same time next week. Do have a lovely weekend.
I remain Ocheh Emmanuel, Love and You on Treasure Network.
