BALANCE; Escape From Abusive Relationship - Part 2

At this point, you must agree that;
No body knows it all.
No body has it all.
No body has seen it all.

This is the place where complimentary comes to play. The strength of your weakness lives in your love mate and strength of your love mate weakness lies in you.

In complimentary, you must come to the understanding that investment is a necessity. Any Godly relationship, friendship or teamwork is a place where both parties are investing complimentary to make the relationship or friendship work.

It is not about you making your love mate lazy by doing all things they were designed to do. It is the ability to support your love mate effort as you allow them to shoulder their own responsibility – this is a designed from God to make each other matured. It has nothing to do with you embracing and shouldering all the responsibility your love mate was designed to handle.

Complementary is a support platform.

Compatibility is the function of common ground.

Godly relationship is when you start from where you are, with what you have as you journey towards the place of getting perfected in Christ Jesus. 

When you are made, give room for others to be made.

Why is balance necessary?

Balance is necessary because God designed it. Every thing God created were created through balance and with balance.

Any thing that is not in balance is out of God’s plan. Balance is God’s nature. It’s a must for balance to exist in any thing his sons and daughter does.

When can balance be experienced?

Balance can be experienced when self or purpose discovery is in place. It’s also possible when your personal relationship with God is balanced. It’s possible when you are gaining maturity and clarity about your identity, priority and vision. It is possible when greed come to an end in your life.

Where can balance be experienced?

Balance can be experienced at difference location or phase in life. It can be experienced in the following…

Friendship
Relationship/dating
Team work.
Ministerial Work.

Balance has difference phase but I want to write on three aspects for now.

GIVING

There must be balance in the place of giving. Both parties must be ready to give their time, attention and strength to the success of the relationship or friendship.

Secondly, the giving must not be one sided. It’s all about giving and receiving – receiving and giving. It must be two side flow. The giving must not be money alone. The giving has to be complimentary and compatible – necessity is what should define the flow.

What are you giving and what is the quality of what you are giving?

FORGIVENESS

No friendship or relationship can survive when forgiveness and reconciliation is absent. You must understand that a successful friendship or relationship is made up of two forgivers.

The forgiveness must not be one sided. You must learn how to apologize and you must also create room for the other person to apologize. Being a man does not mean you won’t admit your fault and apologize. Being a lady does not mean you are too pretty to admit your fault and apologize. Reconciliation must always be the option. Learn how to forgive and learn how to apologize.

COMMUNICATION

No friendship or relationship can survive when communication is absent. Communication is the life, blood, and breathes of any relationship or relationship. Communication must not be one sided in nature. Even if you are reserved person in nature you can’t escape communication.

If you have nothing to share, no idea to share, nothing to discuss about then love is not needed. No communication, no love. Loves comes and grow by effective communication – by effective communication that is two sided. 

Learn how to LISTEN and learn how to TALK.

Balance is a necessity.

This is the will of God for you. 

God bless you.

The Power of Communication in Building a Purposeful Relationship

Dear friend, the strength of any relationship lies in its foundation of effective communication. Without it, misunderstandings arise, assumptions take root, and frustrations build. Amos 3:3 asks, “Can two walk together unless they are agreed?” Agreement comes through understanding, and understanding is achieved when both parties communicate openly and honestly about their values, priorities, and needs. A relationship cannot thrive if silence, guesswork, or avoidance replace meaningful conversations. Your dating relationship is a time to discover the person you’re with and assess compatibility. This goes beyond surface-level interests; it requires delving into each other’s purpose and calling. Proverbs 4:7 teaches, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Understanding your partner's direction in life allows you to align your steps intentionally. Communication is not just about talking; it’s about listening, empat...

ARE YOU READY FOR PREMARITAL RELATIONSHIP?

In every premarital relationship, one of the clearest signs that you are emotionally and spiritually ready is your ability to take responsibility for your actions. Self-responsibility is not just a sign of maturity; it is proof that you are willing to grow, learn, and protect what matters to you. As a youth preparing for a future in marriage, this is not the time to always look for who to blame or pretend you're always right. This is the time to develop character and humility. When you constantly shift blame to your partner or become defensive each time correction or misunderstanding arises, you are indirectly saying, “I am not ready for commitment.” Love may bring two people together, but maturity keeps them growing together. A relationship where no one takes responsibility becomes toxic, exhausting, and frustrating. Can you imagine trying to build something meaningful with someone who never admits their wrong? That’s not love. That’s pride in disguise. Many young people think lov...

How to Stop Settling for Less in Dating Relationship - Part 6 (Final Part)

In the world of relationships, it’s easy to focus on whether we’re settling for less, but what about the other side of the coin? As Christian youths, we must also consider whether we’re unintentionally causing someone else to settle for less by dating us. Relationships are meant to be mutual, uplifting, and Christ-centered. If we’re not careful, our actions, words, or even our approach to dating could cause someone else to compromise their values or settle for something less than God’s best. Here’s how you can avoid putting someone in that position. First, it’s important to be honest with yourself about your intentions. Before you enter into a relationship, ask yourself why you want to date this person. Are you genuinely interested in them, or are you just trying to fill a void, combat loneliness, or conform to societal pressure? If your motivations aren’t pure, you might end up leading someone on, making them believe the relationship has more potential than it actually does. Pray for ...
