The second step
To find a suitable partner is hard work, but even harder is keeping a relationship healthy, and if we don’t know how to go about it, that relationship is finished even before it starts. In life, each day is different and with it come different situations that we have to deal with and make decisions about, and we will reap from those decisions we make. Some think that as long as they have the right partner by their side, he/she will love and understand them and that nothing will ever go wrong between them. But they are wrong—totally wrong! Many whose relationships are now beyond hope thought that way. The society we live in is one of convenience. People crave for things that are ready-made, pre this or pre that, etc., and so people expect the same in their love lives. They want happiness in a tin, ready to go, without working for it. If it were possible, many would happily order a husband or wife, customising their order to suit their current circumstances, and have him/her ready to collect at the end of the day or delivered in time for dinner. They think that as long as they suit each other that there will be no problems between them. The Lord God said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” (Hosea 4.6) and indeed, how many couples would still be together today if they had acquired Godly knowledge of how to behave in a relationship? Many separated couples agree that they didn’t know what to do when... and that they weren’t ready for... That is why their relationship didn’t last even though they were suitable partners. Filling out the Partners 4 Life questionnaire is one step—the first step towards a lifetime of happiness—but it is not the only step. The second step is for you to realise ‘what you must be ready for’ when you find a partner, so that the relationship will work and not be a wasted opportunity.
