The Man God Has For You by Stephan Labossiere

building the foundation of a successful relationship.
We talk about high divorce rates, how love and
relationships aren’t the same, people don’t value commitment,
etc. Then we pile on explanations such 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 another.
It doesn’t work.
It’s dangerous and I don’t want you to move forward
ignoring it. That’s not what God wants. He knows it’s
necessary.
As I said earlier in the chapter, a connection is like two
spirits recognizing 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.
