Manipulators in relationships often use mind games to seize power within the relationship.  They have the ultimate goal of using that power to gain control over the other person!   Selfishness is a keyword use for people who use manipulation to their unhealthy advantage in their relationships.  You must know that those relationships stem beyond "love" into work, friendships, and other types of relationships.

When we take any trip we must have our bags checked.  This checking of the bags was amplified in the US after 9-11 with a specific focus on dangerous objects.  We should have this same focus and determination to pre-search the "character" of those with who we are planning on making serious relationship commitments.  It's important to check the character of our mates because we all come with the emotional baggage of some sort, but there are certain types of emotional baggage that can be weighty, dangerous, and deadly.  We spend this episode defining emotional baggage and take a hard look at 6 signs you may be dealing with concerning emotional baggage.

Learning to love scheduling?

Always love journaling to declutter your mind and gain focus. Also journaling helps to work thru different issues we may be facing in our mind that need to be vented out.

Continued Consistency in our lives is critically important in every area of our lives. It is not a simple task to do.

“Love God with all your heart mind and spirit and Love your neighbor as yourself”

Frustrations can cause us to lash out in anger. The anger can have some dangerous, disruptive, and/or even deadly consequences. How you respond in your moments of frustration is important on every relational level. Taking purposeful thoughts from scripture and some great articles we dive deeper into the rabbit hole of frustration in relationships.

My personal life is full of micro and macro opportunities for frustrations because I shoulder a lot of responsibility. Everyone of us have our own weights to bear, and how we choose to respond to these moments really matter, especially in light of our relationships. Healthy relationships are one of the keys to a balanced life. How are you handling your frustrations?

When you are in the "waiting" place for the love of your life, that covenant marriage, or just a great friendship, what are you doing to prepare yourself?  The preparation should not be intended for them, but for you.  You MUST know who you are and what you offer, not just in word, but indeed.  Knowing who YOU are will ensure that you do not casually accept someone into your life to fill a void, which is extremely dangerous.  Instead, you will be intentionally seeking and preparing for another human who can add value to a life you are already living that is full and expecting great things.
