Relationships must consist of two persons who agree with one another and have a conjoined purpose. Separate agendas will not work. Ask yourself what type of relationship is this and where is it going? If it is a friendship, then have friendship boundaries. If the goal is to progress towards marriage, then have mutuality. To determine mutuality, start by asking: What are we going to accomplish together in a marriage? However, this only begins the journey. Bumps and hiccups will come, but knowing the common goal of the relationship should help keep the relationship intact. Remember, there is no covenant agreement until you actually say "I do" so if you determine that this is someone that will not walk in agreement with you, then maybe you should reevaluate the relationship. Relationships are tough. If you can not reconcile to the point of restoration, save yourselves the burden of journeying together.
"As we live and grow our love for one another is being perfected" - Crystal Monae'
What have been some of your problems in relationships? Are you constantly pointing the finger at the other person with fault-finding? Do you ever do self-evaluation by asking yourself what is my role in this relationship?
