The Power of Consistent Behavior

 

How would you like to be “the” couple?

You probably know the couple I am talking about but if not, let me introduce you to them.

This couple seems genuinely happy and optimistic about their life and marriage. They speak kindly to each other and about each other. Regardless of how long they have been together or what season they are going through; their marriage relationship is thriving. Although they have seasons of hardship and struggle you never really see it. They respect each other in public, and they don't air their dirty laundry on social media.

There is just something about this couple. Everyone enjoys being with them and wants to know what their secret is.

There really isn't a secret. You can become "the" couple by practicing consistent behavior.

What is consistent behavior?

Consistent behavior means you do the same things in the same way over a long period of time. 

·        By making good consistent decisions, you prove that you are trustworthy and dependable. 

·        When you make good consistent decision in your relationship, you are showing you value the wellbeing of not only yourself but the other person.

 

Matthew 5:37 gives us a great formula for consistent behavior.

All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

 

Biblical application-

·        Let your yes be yes - if you say you are going to do something, do it. Big or small (the little things add up)

·        Let your no be no - if you can't do something, be honest about it.

·        Communicate often - if things change, communicate the changes to avoid unnecessary conflict.
