FANNING THE FLAME IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP

Developing friendship with your spouse is one of the many essential ingredients needed to make your relationship/marriage a success. This month, we will be focusing on " FANNING THE FLAME OF FRIENDSHIP IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP/MARRIAGE". It okay if you can make your partner your friend, but its even better if you marry a friend.
Before we proceed,let's get a proper understanding of who a friend is, or who a friend is supposed to be.
According to "Urban Dictionary" defination, (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=friendship)
------>Friendship is when you love someone with every ounce of your being and genuinely want them to be happy even if it means sacrificing something your self to make them happy.
------>A true friend is someone you can talk to about your feelings, someone you can tell things you could never tell your family or even your partner.
------>They are someone who you don't have to talk to but someone you want to talk to; someone you will go out of your way to be with.
------>Friendship is when you love someone so much you want to hold them and never let go, someone you want to rest your head on and cry, and you would let them cry on you too. Its someone you can talk to about things you disagree on and end up being closer for that disagreement.
------>Its when you think about someone and how close you are to them and how much you love them and you smile and are happy all over.
------>Friendship is when your love for someone exceeds your need for them. (the Dali Lama said that)!"
That being said I bet a number of people can relate with the above definitions. For those who have been married for a while, you probably felt this way when you were dating your spouse; and for those who are still on the dating scene you're most likely experiencing this feeling.
I can totally relate with this feeling because I have also gone down that road.
As lovely as this feeling/emotion is a lot of us tend to loose down the lane and suddenly the once blissful, rainbowed energetic, & butterfly in the belly relationship becomes a monotonous monochromed themed chore that we begin to dread.
This is exactly how it feels when the fire dies out. I believe strongly that this fire is "FRIENDSHIP" I say friendship because it what is built upon. A strong friendship is what even love is built upon.
As we start the journey of 2014, the book of Isaiah 43:19 says " Behold I will do a new thing: I will make roads in the deserts and rivers in the dry land" and that is exactly what God says he will do in your marriages this month.
By the power of God's word, every dry land in your marriage will experience a new river.
As we go along this month, we will explore the various ways to rekindle the fire in your relationship by renewing your  friendship with each other.
