Love Drunk, But Don’t Neglect Your Friends

Your friends are there at the beginning, they are there when you break up with your partner but they are also there in between time, don’t forget that. It is so important that you do not forget this. If you neglect your friends during your relationship then you may wake up one day wondering where your friends have gone. You wonder where your friends have gone when you neglect them so much that they decide enough is enough and leave you to it.

This may be okay when you are still with your partner but when it breaks up there will be a lot of trouble for you when you come out of it. You will end up with no friends, no partner and definitely no social life. Make time for your friends during your relationship. It is ok to get love drunk but it is important that you incorporate your friends into this as well as providing time to hang out with them.

Do the things you have always done before with them. Don’t be afraid to go out with your friends on nights out, or be afraid to enjoy yourself. Encourage your partner to do the same because you both want an active social life. One where you can incorporate each other and another social life where you can spend time apart. A healthy relationship consists of a healthy balance between being able to spend time together and loving each other and also allowing each other to remain independent. Read the rest of this entry »

Seamless Love – Relationships’ Best

Let us therefore no longer pass judgment on one another, but resolve instead never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of another.
~Romans 14:13 (NRSV).

What a good relationship rule to live life by! Lived out, it’s an astounding commitment in choosing for others’ welfare, disposed for them and not so much for the self. It reeks of meekness and humility.

There are two very good components to this short conclusive exhortation of the Apostle Paul’s as he connects a new concept to one just covered (in Romans 14:1-12).

1. Start Issuing Grace and Give the Benefit of Any Doubt (Stop Judging)

Rather than focusing on the negative-”stop judging”-there is a better, more productive focus. It’s a view of life that’s zealously inclusive; the hungry desire for dynamic harmony above all.

As Paul has just finished showing us, we are not our own; we’re the Lord’s. We are accountable to God (verse 12). We seek to live in ways that please God.

We’re to issue grace and the benefit of any doubt that might exist, and considering that we make many assumptions, a circumspect approach to relationships means more love and less conflict caused through lazy and carefree judgment. Read the rest of this entry »

Tips to Help You Love Thy Neighbor

This motto would make the world spin around much smoother but following through can be difficult at times. There are neighbors that are easy to love, there are neighbors that are easy to tolerate and there are neighbors that would make everyone happier if they had an island to themselves (and the rest of us might be willing to pitch in to make that possible).

We have some neighbors that are easy to love. Although the constant love that they send our way can be annoying, it is just one more of the signs that they are gifted at hospitality. They are always opening their home to someone, sharing food, offering entertainment and making everyone feel welcomed.

We have some neighbors that keep to themselves and make it easy to tolerate their presence. They just do what they are going to do without much fuss or excitement. But they keep an eye on their other neighbors and reach out to help or protect when necessary.

We have some neighbors that make following this motto a tough choice. There are times when we feel like they go out of their way to make life difficult for us. Their actions are like red flags in front of a bull and we want to charge in and make things right FOR US.

We have some neighbors that are open to visits and come by occasionally but are not aggressive in their need to connect. When trouble comes up they are the first to reach out but under normal circumstances a visit now and then to catch up is all that is necessary. Read the rest of this entry »
