If you look or search on the graph of marriage, you will find out that the percentage of broken relationship is great. Few only had been successfully cultivated their relationship. And why this thing happens?
In special relationship like girlfriend-boyfriend or in a marriage life, there have six sides of love involved. And what are these? To mention, there are the social side, physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and commitment side. Each side must be handled equally in order to have a colorful relationship. The balance of for you relationship and for me relationship are the main keys to have a successful love and family.
Emotion
When someone said, “Wow! What a feeling? Certainly, I have butterfly in the stomach when I see him or her.” Such remark shows emotion. Actually, emotion is the expression of what you feel for someone, but if when it is too much, it can also cloud the mind of the person, to realize that his or her partner is not a good choice.
The Physical Side
When you have a feeling of love, your physical side is also reacted. It is where you somewhat to choose between the good and the evil. In Christian life, it is the most difficult option between doing God’s will, which is against pre-marital sex and your own will. This aspect definitely can affect the other sides when emotion is express through too much physical involvement such as sex. Anyhow, being together most often like having a walk from school, lunch date and others, except sex can also be considered as a physical side activities. Likewise, the social side is added to make the relationship happy and harmony. The social involvement between lovers can still be healthy including your physical even without sex; just holding hands and walking side by side.
In relationship, communications between the partners are also important. This will help them grow and understand each other. Relationship must have intellectual communication and spiritual communication. Intellectual conversation is about talking on feelings, of fears, hopes and dreams they both shared. Spiritual communication is about sharing each philosophical idea about God. Both are very crucial for any relationship, where the more they both lecturing to each other’s feeling, as well as knowing together about Christ, these things can make them closer to each other.
And the last side of love is about commitment. This is on loyalty, sincerity, caring and love. These not only on what she or he sweetly says, yet it is about how a person did to what he or she said. Commitment can only be a guess; however, it is sure for the partners to be committed to each other, when both have security and love, especially if they let Christ middle on them.
Six sides of relationship obviously were not observed by many. Otherwise, great numbers of broken family, grieving children and broken hopes would not be increasing. How sad it can be thinking, but adults are too careless to realize each social responsibility to our community.
Moreover, if you want your relationship last, then ask God’s help the most important, and then apply the right six sides of love in your situation. It should not be too much from each other, but should be having an equal number if not percentage. Good luck and stay as happy as can be with God’s help. I hope I able to share my simple ways of advice on how to make your relationship last forever.
