Friendship, truth, honesty, transparency, faithfulness, a loving relationship, affection, and the list can go on. There is nothing more important than a true and real authentic relationship with your special someone. Deep down, one would think that every individual hopes and desires to love and be loved in a way that makes them feel as though they are the most important person in their loved ones life. 1. Believe the best about each other. 1 Corinthians 13:7 tells us, “Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” Believing in each other, that is What's Most Important! 2. Have Deep Honesty. Discuss some of your hopes and dreams and your fears and failures. This means a lot more than simply not lying. It’s allowing another person to see the not-so-pleasant baggage that you’re carrying. Honesty, that is What's Most Important! 3. Prefer the other. Live each day in closeness with your spouse. Unselfishness, that is What's Most Important! 4. Provide GRACE to your spouse. No one is perfect and believe me, when you mess up you will want grace too. These are the people we have chosen to spend our lives with. Love each other, treasure each other, forgive each other, prefer each other and make a wonderful and fulfilling life together; that is What's Most Important! 5. Trust - Trust takes years to build and only a second to break. A spouse is trusted with so much: fears, vulnerabilities, wounds from previous experiences, and so much more. "In a good marriage, a spouse discloses these innermost thoughts and trusts that it won’t be used against them in future arguments.” (Caroline Madden). Trust, that is What's Most Important!
