3 Tips to Make Your Relationship Strong

Starting a relationship these days seems to be the expertise for basically every person on the planet. The tricky stuff happens when you go past the “hi” and “bye” of any relationship. In this post, we will discuss different tips to make your relationship strong and last for the long haul.

I remember thinking when I was a young school teen, that it was almost a certainty to have a relationship that would only last a couple of weeks and perhaps a month or two if I was “lucky”. It seemed almost pointless to even try to get into a relationship that was meaningful.

What Does The Bible Have To Say?

Getting into a relationship as a teenager is really not the top priority nor should it be. In fact, it probably is a smart move to stay single for as long as it takes to get yourself set up financially and in a career. In 1 Corinthians 7:7-11 Paul writes that being single is great if you can handle being celibate.

Here's what he writes (Message translation)

7 Sometimes I wish everyone were single like me—a simpler life in many ways! But celibacy is not for everyone any more than marriage is. God gives the gift of the single life to some, the gift of the married life to others.

8-9 I do, though, tell the unmarried and widows that singleness might well be the best thing for them, as it has been for me. But if they can’t manage their desires and emotions, they should by all means go ahead and get married. The difficulties of marriage are preferable by far to a sexually tortured life as a single.

10-11 And if you are married, stay married. This is the Master’s command, not mine. If a wife should leave her husband, she must either remain single or else come back and make things right with him. And a husband has no right to get rid of his wife.

Now don't go thinking that its an all or nothing type of activity. I know plenty of people that can actively date a person but in fun as if they are friends. This is healthy dating, to begin within the early stages of life. The first and foremost way to make your relationship strong and last is to first become the best of friends.

So many couples enter into a relationship thinking it's just an attraction and everything else will sort of magically work themselves out.

Good for you if this is exactly how it turned out for you. However, for most this is typically how the divorce or break up started.

Creating A Strong Foundation

When you have a good foundation, you've worked on making yourself the best version of yourself that you can. Then and only then are you ready to dive into a relationship as a new adult. Many (myself included) jump into a relationship thinking it will just work and if it doesn't then I move on to the next relationship…

until that one doesn't work.

At this point, you have to start thinking what is the common denominator.

It's YOU!

Take a moment and enter your email address and we will send you a video that will underline some of the things needed in order to create a relationship which you know is there but seemed to have lost in the creation of live together.

1 – Communication is key to make your relationship strong

If your relationship is not working well for you right now, perhaps the communication is not what it should be in order to have that amazing relationship.

We know that if communication is lacking there are tons of thoughts that go right through our mind condemning your partner of several acts that may or may not be true. So to communicate, no matter what the consequences are is a first step to healing any relationship.

2 – Honesty isn't just the high road

How many times have you been lied to and literally a new section of your emotional wall goes up faster than you can blink?

The same isn't true when telling the truth but that's because you must rebuild the trust with anyone you have lied to. The best policy is to never lie to anyone.

Honesty is a cornerstone to success and great relationships. After all, trust is something all people want from you, not just certain people. Taking these Tips to Make Your Relationship Strong will definitely make you a relationship winner. An example to those who want to have a successful relationship

3 – Play Time to ease the stress in any situation

Tips to Make Your Relationship Strong

You've heard the saying that goes, “those that play together stay together“.

Well this is definitely part of the equation but you must add communication and trust to this to make this saying truly come to life.

I remember having a relationship that I rather enjoyed. I would call to hang out and we'd go have fun doing what we both loved. Billiards. It was times like this that would make a relationship strong. Talking, having fun together and getting to know each other through those fun times.

It was a relationship that, looking back now, was based on desire and lust. There was friendship but nothing I could hang my hat on for an extended period of time. It was that reason that I decided to eventually cut ties with her. Though she was very fun and nice to hang around, there wasn't a mutual respect that I felt was needed to take the relationship to the next level.

So, yes, we played together but through the lack of trust, and even lack of communication this relationship didn't work out. Some people would say that this relationship was not meant to be. Sure, that may be exactly it. But what if you're already in a relationship that is now a marriage? There was a covenant made to be with this person until death do us part. Now the effort is to make your relationship strong!

Ep 10 – Marriage Goals For The New Year

This podcast is definitely a must listen as we discuss why we all should have relationship goals that define our marriage.  We discuss how you can start to implement these goals into your marriage and guide you to the relationship you so desire.  They're called marriage goals and they should be a basic part of each and every relationship.  

Marriage Goals

The goal of a family is to live happily and starting with just the husband and wife, procreate. That's what most couples do.

However there are some people that just don't have kids in their future either due to medical reasons or they just don't want kids.

If it's for medical reasons, we can help ourselves out by meditating on God's word and speaking out in our own voice what God says about us. In meditating, we tend to think it's ok to speak it out once or twice, but true meditation is complete focus. Repeat them over and over until you have a calm in your spirit.

In our house, we have a Mission Statement hanging in our room that we repeat over and over so that our family is branded in our spirit, not just in our head and physically. This is done in the same way that they have done for centuries.

Family Crest

The family crest has deep meaning and are not ever the same. When you look at a family crest you see colors and symbols. Each having meaning

Improve Every Day

Improvement is something we are all doing and I know this because you're a part of society. You're living. If we are not improving then we are stagnant and not growing.

Goals we like to use are the ones just like weight loss goals. They set a target, we work at them until we reach those goals. Then we CELEBRATE our achievement. There are many ways to help us out in our marriage goal setting.

FIrst you have to look at where you're at in your marriage. Take a picture of the now in your marriage. Next, you'll want to look and find things you would like to weed out and you do this by not focussing on the negative but by taking all of your energy and loving what your goal is for your marriage.

For instance, you may love the way your spouse cooks dinner. Start praising that in your marriage. You may love how your spouse is good working with cars or computers, or the yard. Keep up on your praises in those things.

Praise your spouse for the good! Keep your focus on what you want to grow. Ignore the negative ALWAYS! Click To Tweet

Mindset Meditation For Mental Clarity

Just as we focus on the positive only, we are to also meditate each day on those things that make us happy. If you're not sure what to meditate on, start out with affirmations of who you are.

Build yourself up…

Praying is a great way to build yourself up while talking to God. This also helps you get more clear on who you are if you're speaking out what God says you are.

Love Starts In The Spirit

As it is written: ?I have made you a father of many nations.? He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed?the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.

Romans 4:17 NIV

So what should we have taken from this scripture? It's that we have the ability to call things out that have not yet come to pass in the physical. We can call things that are not in our physical eye, but if it's in our mind's eye (spirit) IT EXISTS!

One great thing to do to help your spirit life out as well as your relationship is to make a point to pray together on a regular basis — every 24 hours.

This might be a little too deep for this post but know we will be delving into this topic because we believe it will help your marriage and life.

Emotional hurts make for long days

When I lost my second wife to cancer, I literally felt myself tear in half. I felt naked and didn't know where to go. It's not uncommon to feel this way when a relationship is on its last legs. But I want you to know that you can take heart in this because you can still talk to your spouse. You can still pray for them to change for the better.

We are all spiritual beings with emotions and when those emotions are hurt our natural body response is to heal. I experienced this first hand in grieving the loss of my wife.

Our bodies will take from the other 4 quadrants of our life.

  • Spiritual
  • Emotional
  • Physical
  • Mental

So if something has been damaged in our body quadrant, it will grab resources from the other 3 areas so that, in this case, our emotions can heal. This is why when someone is grieving, it's so hard to have any energy.

So how do we strengthen our emotions when we are at peace?

The first and most important thing you can do to heal your emotions is to Forgive.

More Fun In The Physical

We all know how the attraction started, right? It had to be the physical attraction.

So when was it a back burner thing to stop taking care of our physical body? I think it stems from when we received that one thing that our spouse gave and now there is nothing else to work for.

Guys and Gals, it's time to refocus on our health and be healthy for our spouse. It's not always the hot looks we can give to our spouse. It's also being healthy at a 100 percent clip that eases our spouses thoughts knowing you're healthy.

So if you have to go to the gym to work out or start eating healthier than you already may be eating. Do it. Set a goal to improve your love life and your health life.
