Waiting on Patience:
- Being patient is by no means easy
- Really tests your character and strengthens you when times are rough
- Millions of things I could say that I’m waiting on but through God’s plan everything will happen on His time :)
- One of my fav pastors Timothy A’Teek has a great sermon on this and how the Holy Spirit moves and gives you this comfort!
- Jesus Wins … let’s get after it

Persevering through Hopelessness:
- Jesus wants us to persevere during the most trying times of our relationship and is right there with us
- Easier said than done but important to keep in mind
- Nothing is impossible through Jesus :)

Repairing Relationships:

James 3:17–18, “But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. And those who are peacemakers will plants seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.”

God is good :) love others as He loves us

Can we rebuild after betrayal?:
- Couples with a willingness to let God lead them through can move closer to recovery and reconciliation
- Psalm 147:3 says, “heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds”
- True love can cover all sin
- God is good :)

Anger:
- It is smart to take time away from your partner when angry
- easy to be fueled to say something harsh
- peace and calmness comes with honoring the other and seeing what they need
- taking time if it’s hours or whatever is helpful

Healthy compromise:
- demonstrating humility to your partner and wrapping :) the other person in love
- God calls us to get along with one another even in deep disagreement which is challenging
- When we disagree we accept each other because He freaking loves us so much that He will never give up to bring us HOME !!! 🥹
- home is special and loved and caring, might change locations but stays constant in ❤️

Empathy over Tension
- it’s easy to only want things for yourself in a situation and not see the other person’s needs
- important to work on and see how Jesus embodied this action for us
- necessity to make your partner feel loved and valued by giving them what they need

Clear how important it is to be present in the moment and not focused on other things (Ex. FaceTime focus on your partner and not the surroundings) Jesus is focused on us always so why not show the same love to your significant other

Good reminder that we are imperfect beings and in a relationship it’s important to have gratitude towards the other

Convinced LMFT Bible devotionals are the best thing since sliced bread 🤩 such a great reminder on staying humble in a relationship and how we are suppose to be generous, loving, and selfless! Winning an argument is stupid it’s listening to the other and hearing them out fully, something worth working on always!!
