Trust in a relationship 7/18/2005
In a relationship, trust is a prerequisite for great love
and deep affection. But the type of trust that can sustain
love is not always gotten from the surface of a relationship,
rather it is found in the deepest part of the heart where
strong determination abodes. It is that type of trust that
can withstand, all forms of contradictions, and that can
turn dissapointment to strenght. when ...

The thing that can bring break-up 7/14/2005
One of the numerous things that can help parties in a relationship
to get along without breaking up is to be able to seek and
identify any factor that can lead to break-up. When this
is done by both parties, they can be rest assured that they
will never have a break-up. But the fact is that many people
don't have the courage to accept the only thing that
can lead to break-up in a ...

Through the fire... 7/4/2005
My fiancee just recently broke up with me. I'm a soldier
currently serving in Iraq. The pain I've felt over
the past month has been more than anything I've ever
felt before. But I've also realized that this is totally
part of His plan. See, the Lord has used this to get me closer
to Him than ever before. Ironically, I was reading Job for
the first time the week before this happened. ...

The Honest Dishonesty 7/4/2005
When parties in a relationship sudenly stop to communicate
with each other, without telling each o the need to stop
communicating, it is jst the honest way of saying it is over.
But many would also see this as being dishonest in the sense
that there should have been a discussion, whether ormal
or informal about such impening break up, so that the two
parties woul be able to know their wrong ...

Why not be honest? 7/2/2005
When choosing to break up with someone, why do some people
simply stop communicating? When you have an established
relationship, have been seeing each other for some time,
maybe engaged, it's been serious, then all of a sudden
one person just disappears and doesn't answer the
phone or emails anymore, and if you do run into them they
don't have an answer to why they don't talk to you ...

The Hardest Thing 5/31/2005
The hardest thing in an inevitable break up is walking away
in a dignified manner and not stooping to verbal abuse and
mean petty pay backs aimed to hurt the other half but only
results in hurting one's self eventually. Then there
is the other extreme, where instead of wanting to inflict
as much pain and damage to the other party, the pain is inflicted
to self. This can range from mild to ...

Heal Your Heart 5/6/2005
The most important thing to remember at the end of a relationship
is that God is always speaking.

There's an important line in The Lord's Prayer:
"Thy will be done". When we say this prayer we
are putting ourselves in God's hands. Yet when things
don't go our way, we despair. When in doubt, keep these
words close to your heart. Surrender yourself to His will
and in it you'll ...
