Words of wisdom....

By Doc Ed Cole: (Communication, Sex and Money) - The three things in life that strengthen or break any relationships.

A man who truly loves God will remain faithful until he reaps a harvest.

I find this excerpt very relevant. Many go into a relationship not knowing what the outcome it is going to be.

- A young man needs to know how to be a friend to a girl in order to know how to be a husband to a woman. Exotic and erotic moments don't last a lifetime, friendship does. You can't build a life on memories. In the absence of true friendship, between the times of romance, the void can be filled by enmity, or by someone else. Bitterness, hatefulness, sarcasm, caustic criticism, or horrible silence may occupy the void created by the absence of friendly conversation, touching, sharing, and togetherness.

This excerpt was stated because a couple in their 50s, Bill and Jan, have been married for 30 years and have trouble finding intimacy in their marriage. They went to Dr Cole for counselling and found that both do not know whether they loved each other or not. However, their marriage lasted even though each didn't know whether they loved each other or not, why?

"All I know," said Bill, "is that through it all, she is still my best friend." Friendship was the key to hold them together. It's not perfect, yes. However, romance alone never hold a marriage, but friendship can. It is definitely God's intention to have both (Romance and friendship) in any marriage. Hollywood celebrities have been constantly changing in marital relations, why? Many of them are the most romantic people in the world. But without friendship, no marriage can last. Not even amongst the best looking people with the best romance.

I got so much out of Dr Cole. More than just on Relationships, I learnt so much on finances from Dr Cole. This book is definitely worth reading. Read it and you'll gain in understanding! Ha ha.

Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
~Romans 13:8
