Dr. Love joins Dimension to share biblical wisdom and practical tools for building healthy relationships and navigating communication pitfalls that couples commonly face.
• The importance of remembering why you fell in love when the novelty wears off
• Focusing on the 90% you love about your partner rather than the 10% you dislike
• Being intentional about creating time and space for your relationship
• Learning not to take your partner's personality as a personal attack
• Creating emotional safety by truly listening and repeating back what you heard
• Understanding the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation
• Implementing the "three-day rule" - after three days of conflict, dedicating 24 hours to loving on each other
• Practicing "I feel" statements rather than accusations during conflicts
• Recognizing when relationship issues stem from personal trauma requiring individual healing
• Surrendering relationship struggles to God rather than fighting in your own strength
If you're feeling hopeless in your relationship, don't throw in the towel. Take time to submerge yourself in God's presence and watch what He does in your spirit and home when you surrender your struggles to Him.
