Session

Lesson

Thought Adjuster: “In a perfect world, love leads two individuals to form a partnership — the building block of a good family. The only right the Father confers to each spouse is to love and cherish their mate, thus creating a favorable environment for the next generation of eternal souls.

Sadly, partners butt heads in many relationships. They weaponize their words, criticize or misunderstand their mate, and self-righteously mete out physical or emotional punishment — a far cry from fulfilling their fiduciary duties.

All human relationships should include the element of trust, as the Father entrusts you to be his agent of love-in-action — acting in his stead as a visible and tangible receiver/transmitter of T.L.C. (Tender Loving Care).

Jesus intervened on behalf of women’s rights whenever he witnessed first-hand some form of spousal abuse. Even though he was a male of the realm, he set a clear precedent by promoting, respecting, and honoring the place women should hold in any functional society.

Because marriage is an equal opportunity for the circulation of true love, it is a balancing act. Successful partnerships focus on the attractive traits of their partner, making compassionate allowances for their unavoidable shortcomings.

Goodwill is also a prerequisite for a working relationship — never ill will. The low-grade fossil fuels composed of festering resentment and decayed grudges are highly volatile and unable to restore peace. Judicious time-outs work wonders in clearing your head and protecting endangered hearts.

Love one another as Jesus loved all — with empathy, compassion, and gratitude — making generous allowances for their ignorance and emotional immaturity.”
