Yancy Camp Workout 556

One of our key points of focus in life should be striving to have a healthy relationship with our wife or husband. If engaged, this is also extremely important. We often times have no problem going above and beyond to serve a friend, neighbor, or co-worker but we fail to serve the most important person in our lives. The person we’re committed to serving the rest of our lives with. We let differences and pride create friction, and we harbor it while trying to prove our point, or trying to get our way. The one person we need to forgive, serve, and cherish the most ends up being the person we have unhealthy arguments with. My wife annoys the heck out of me sometime and I know I do the same to her but we have a clear understanding about how much we love each other. Couples are often times stuck in a rut because one or both sides just won’t let themselves love the relationship with unconditional love. I know my wife loves and cares for me greatly. That should be enough. Early in our relationship I would pick at things that I felt weren’t perfect. I might get annoyed because of the way my wife handled something vs showing her some grace and supporting her. I mean if what she’s about to do isn’t going to cause a hot mess disaster, then just settle in and support her. I know some reading this are wondering if their relationship is going to work. You think you aren’t happy and you think the person you’re with probably isn’t going to change. I challenge you to look closely at yourself and see if you can work on improving yourself vs hammering hard on changing your partner. I know there are situations where there could be some very unhealthy stuff going on, and in some cases, your best bet is departure. If this isn’t your situation, remember that you both fell in love for a reason. You both fell wild crazy in love actually. Without reason, did one just all of a sudden dramatically change their personality and way of living so much so that one feels things are beyond repair? My wife and I coach/teach small groups and more times than not, it’s a dual role problem. One will say, “I know I’m partially to blame!”. Well lets try to work on fixing what you know is partially the blame. Your partner is your main rockstar in life. A healthy relationship is arguably the most beautiful thing you’ll ever experience in life. I’d also argue that it’s one of the most important factors when it comes to building a strong foundation for our children to model. When they see two people showing love, support, grace, and compassion toward each other virtually every day of their live for 18 years, I feel it helps set them up for success in their own future relationships (love, business, friends, daily socializing, etc.).  ***If you and your partner have a wonderful relationship, work to support others who could use some gracious guidance.   Much love – Yancy
