An Amazing Relationship
LivinMyLifeOnPurpose.com
Here is another chapter in my walk with Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I'd like to write a story everyday,
however I need some time to come up with good material. In my walk I've been reading alot of books and
asking many questions. I've never been much of a reader. Up until my current journey I don't believe I've read
more than 10 real books from the beginning to the end.
Now my desk is filled with books. I'm currently reading "The Case for Christ", by Lee Strobel, a story about
an atheist who was trying to disprove the New Testament and the resurrection of Jesus. In his quest for
validity in his own atheist beliefs, he became a Christian. Another book I'm currently reading is "The Case for
Faith", also by Lee Strobel. In this book he is examines Faith. His main question is how can a good God allow
such horrible disasters in this world like fire, floods, death of our loved ones, and mass murders.
The most recent book I began reading is "The Five Love Languages", by Gary Chapman. This is about how
everybody has a different way of expressing love. If you are married and want to have a great marriage, get
this book! If you are going thru or contemplating a divorce, get this book! If you are in a relationship or want
one that lasts, then get this book! If your wondering, no I don't get royalties from this book.
In my quest for answers, I asked my wife and female co-workers "Why do you wait to eat?" I've always
noticed that my wife wouldn't eat until she was starving. Since she waited to eat her blood sugar would be low
and eventually she would become irritable. The answer I received from my wife and my co-workers was that
they would either forget or just wait til they were really hungry. Now to me that doesn't make a whole lot of
sense.
That brings me to another thing that I've learned. For those who know this already, bear with me. I can be
slow sometimes. Here it is: Women argue with emotion while men argue with logic. So if you are ever in a
spat with your significant other or just a female, stop yourself from using logic. It doesn't work! Just listen to
what she's got to say. Most of the time they just want to vent and they want you to listen.
That brings me back to the book "The Five Love Languages". In this book, the author analyzes why love in
relationships seem to fade away. Growing up all of us are shown love in different ways. Some received love
via words, others received love thru time together, and some received love with gifts.
My wife has expressed to me that at times she feels unloved by me. I couldn't quite understand it because I
thought I was doing everything needed to show her love. The problem was that we were speaking different
love languages. My way of showing her love was not the same way she understood love. If our ears hear the
words "I Love You" in a different language then the words spoken would be insignificant to us.
If we realize early that men and women are different and that we all speak different love languages then life
becomes a whole lot more simpler. No matter how hard you try women will still wait to eat and they will
always argue with emotion. We can't change these characteristics like we are unable to change their love
language to match ours. It is necessary for us to learn their language if we want an awesome relationship.
So if you want an amazing relationship with your significant other, get this book and find out what his or her
language is and use it. Another thing that I have learned is that its important to grow together in a relationship.
So I recommend that you read this book with your significant other.
