Let me start by saying men and women are very intelligent in a lot of life decisions in their lives, but when it comes to love we tend to hurt those we hold dear in our hearts. Because we all our human and we do have our faults and we tend to forget that the person we love the most across from us are not there to hurt us in anyway. But we unknowingly do stupid things and hurt our soul-mate, and this is not acceptable. We must learn to be very open in our relationships and remember to communicate with each other along with putting our feelings up front so each of us understands that we are tender, loving and caring.

Now with that said, I have something I need for each of you to do. Get a pen/pencil and a sheet of paper, I want you to draw a stick house better then this one below. OK now we need to label the house like this:

INTIMACY

FRIENDSHIP


Now your foundation in any relationship is your friendship
The walls are your trust in each other
The roof is the intimacy that you have in one another

Without anyone of them your relationship crumbles, a strong foundation/friendship is needed to build your new found relationship on just like building a home.

The walls/trust in each other are just as important because they provide a wall of protection against outside forces that will try to destroy the relationship between each other.

The roof/intimacy is the love,sex and things each of us hold dear as we discover one another in a blissful passion, take that away and your protection from the outside elements will be open (rain,cold,heat) that will damage what you have in your relationship.

Inside each of us(in the relationship) are the little nix-naks,valuables,figurines these are our feelings which are tender and very fragile, if they are broken or destroyed then all you have is an empty house/relationship.

We must be able to communicate between each other and protect each other in the relationship, will there be hard times, YES! Can we get through it, YES! Never go to bed mad and always remember these words..."I LOVE YOU"

We will all make mistakes but always be honest and never lie to your woman, and ladies please do the same. The heart is strong but the hurt can cut deep so think before you jump to any conclusions in your relationships.

Now keep God in your heart and he will help guide you in your loving relationship and focus on loving one another.


I hope and pray this helps a lot of people looking for love and will help you build that caring loving long lasting relationship you are looking for, God Bless.
