as the generation of today, people being raised poorly, the sex, finances, and a
host of other reasons; however, all of it stems from a lack of connection.
When you have a genuine connection, you want to work through things
together. When the connection isn’t there and the money isn’t right, or the sex
is off, now you face the reality that you never liked who they truly were, and
you don't want to deal with them. You may not say it, but part of you thinks it.
If there’s no genuine connection, there’s not enough desire and love for
each other to want to overcome these obstacles, to want to persevere. Even in
situations where people stay together, despite that lack, they’re not working
passed those issues. They drag things along and let things pile up until one
day it completely explodes and they can’t keep it together anymore.
There are other ramifications that can occur from this disconnect which
leads to a extremely unhealthy household. Despite believing staying together
is best, the disconnect can negatively affect the children. It may have
happened in some of your lives. You may have grown up in a household
where your parents (married or single) created a false and unhealthy
perception of love and relationships. An unhealthy environment due to broken
relationships and people who had no connection trying to deal with one

It doesn’t work.
It’s dangerous and I don’t want you to move forward ignoring it. That’s

their counterpart. God wants you to be with your counterpart. He wants you to
be with the person you’re truly aligned with and be able to walk the path He’s
designed for you both.
That’s not going to happen with a man where there’s no real connection.
Be mindful of this.
Keep your eyes open, don’t ignore your intuition, and know that you have
to truly connect this person.
You have to like who they are and that starts with being yourself. Get to
know who you are, love who you are, show the world; and the man that is for
you, who truly loves you, will embrace that person.
I had a client once, and we’ll call her “Patricia,” who came to me because
she was struggling with relationships.
She was frustrated and couldn’t understand why she didn’t have greater
success in that area, despite the belief of being a great catch. Overall, Patricia
is successful and accomplished but when it came to love and men, things
always fell apart. So my question, always, at some point in the session is did
you pray and ask God should you be dealing with these men? I’m not going to
summarize her response because I want you to see the dialogue between her
and I. I also want you to think about how you would respond when asked the
