3 Must Have Ingredients In The Relationship Recipe

How to Put Together The Relationship Recipe

In today's post, we are discussing the 3 must have ingredients in the relationship recipe.

Ingredient #1 – Communication

The First ingredient is communication. We feel like it's a topic that gets pushed under the rug so often but true communication is rewarding and when the communication is complete, it leaves you with a feeling of love when done correctly.

There are some keys to communication that make a huge difference. As stated by the Huffington Post, never arguing is not something to brag about. If you never argue, you have to ask yourself if you are truly growing in your relationship. If you're not growing then your relationship is going in the opposite direction and needs to have intervention to get it back to a growing state.

Ingredient #2 – Boundaries

We mentioned this ingredient of boundaries in the video above but there is so much more to it than what we spoke about.

The fact that boundaries are not that well known has really given us the opportunity to educate people about them and how they can solve so many relationship issues. There are some must have ingredients that even the wealthy top 1% of the population need to follow. Boundaries is probably the most abused ingredient.

Ingredient #3 – Love

Just like in our video, we spoke about how LOVE is God and God is Love. They are one and the same. So when we add God into the relationship we are ultimately adding the greatest ingredient of all to our relationship.

As relationships go, we tend to adjust to what is presented to our immediate surroundings. This is a good thing and a bad thing.

If we are in the present moment, we are in the protection of God. But, when we have negative feelings or speak negativity, we are taking the love that God is out of our situation – leaving an open doorway for the enemy to attack our relationship.

Baking Instructions

As we presented this information to you as a recipe, we would like you to be the chef and put it all together in your relationship.

The best way to do this is to have a plan and a goal. Know what you want to do and go after it. Make one goal this week to accomplish. Focus on it and know in your heart that it's complete.

How The Honeymoon Phase Will Last Forever?

We have always been taught that every romantic relationship goes through the honeymoon phase but then it ends and you have to move on?to something boring. We want to give you some steps to help you never get to the boring. Here's how the honeymoon phase will last forever!

In this podcast, Jon and Jess explore the question – does the honeymoon phase have to end?

To answer this age-old question, they go to the heart of the matter, fear vs. love.

Everything we do is either based on fear or love.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
I John 4:18

The Power of Love In Relationship

Fear stops us and shuts us down. It takes away our creativity and joy. Fear causes us to answer sharply and makes us feel like we have to constantly look over our shoulder.

Love frees and empowers us. It makes us creative and joyful. Love gives us patience for our partners so we can respect and cherish them. So if we do things in love, we have an exponentially greater chance that the honeymoon will last forever.

When an issue arises in our relationship, it's as if a mirror is put up in front of our faces to show us that there is something to do with us that we need to take care of.

When we pay attention to these, we are able to deal with the cause and allow healing to enter in. After a while, the baggage drops off of us and walls against our partners come down.

As a result, we can get back to the honeymoon stage and even better.
It is possible to get to a level even more exciting than that – the stage where you can experience explosive love.
