We have opened a new book today, its pages are blank and we are going to put words on them ourselves. The title of this book is "My Relationship" and today is its first chapter.

As you begin to write, my question for you today is "How is your relationship?" If you are married, how is your marriage? Is that what you want? Are you content? Can you make it work? How can you make it better?

Numerous people have written to me on their relationship and marriage. Most are seeking for ways to make it work, whilst others are busily seeking for fulfillment outside. It is therefore important to touch on making marriages and relationship work this year.

In Ecclesiastes 7:20 (NIV) the good book says "Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins".

This confirms no one is perfect; it also means, there are no perfect partners or spouses out there. But this does not mean we cannot have a good marriage or relationship.

Finding each other is the beginning of any relationship, right from courtship to "You are now husband and wife". Staying together is the process and working together is the success.

However there are a lot of people want to be part of the success but not the process, how can that be possible?

If your relationship or marriage is having trouble then I recommend a vitamin called "Love". People grow when they love well. If you want to help others heal, love them without an agenda.

Love always protects, maybe you got attracted to your spouse because you perceived him or her to be perfect and you loved them. Then you realized they were not. The best thing to do is to love them more, for tough times become beautiful when our loved ones wipe our tears saying, Hey Silly!! I'm there for you.

Tell your partner "I have seen you at your worst and I still think you are the best".

Always treasure the one who accepts and loves every bit of you.

Love is a partnership between two unique people, who bring out the very best in each other and who know that even though they are wonderful as individuals, they are even better together.

As you start the year, make it a habit to love your partner unconditionally, look for ways to make it work.
Consider this, after every mistake, every person says "I'm sorry" and not just that but also adds 'What should I do to make it right?... Only this approach will make a relationship more beautiful and lasting.
