We have come to the end of this series of 2 Major Ways Of Protecting And Securing Your Relationship Against External Attack – Part 3. This part contains two very important pieces of advice. Please, make good use of them in order to avoid finger-biting.
When Anne heard that I got married to her former intimate friend at school, Nneka, she was very disappointed at me, as well as in Nneka. The person who told her about it said she was very disturbed in her emotions and almost wept aloud.
Nneka and I are married, no doubt. Both of us also have two sons and two daughters together. I am partially happy and partially sad about it.
I am not too happy because somebody else, Anne, has been injured emotionally by my action. I am not happy because I know that God is not happy over how Nneka and I betrayed her.
For me to amend my ways and return to God, I need to repent of my sin and show that I am sincerely remorseful. In addition to that, I need to advise all bachelors and spinsters, from across the globe, how they can avoid the mistakes that Anne made, which caused her to lose me.
Do you know what those mistakes are? Find them below.
- She had too much confidence in her friend, Nneka;
- She didn’t study her well before divulging confidential information about me to her; and
- She seemed not to have committed my relationship with her into the hands of God.
Consequent upon this, I have discovered two (2) ways you can protect your relationship from being attacked and stolen by external forces. Below are those two ways.
1. Watch And Study Your Relations, Friends, And Colleagues Before You Confide In Them
Do not open your mouth wide to anybody you see on the street, at home, in your office, and even in the church, among other places, especially when you have not studied them.
Having a good knowledge about people before you share any information with them is key.
Knowing the limit of what you can say about your partner in public, how, when and whom to say it to, would put you on a safer side and assure you of a safe and blissful relationship, as well as stop you from saying: “Had I known.”.
2. Talk Less About Your Partner To Third Parties
Even when you have studied the people around you, it is still advisable not to talk or boast carelessly about your love-partner in public. Simply mind how you go about your talking or your boasting.
This does not necessarily mean that you must turn yourself into a deaf and a dumb. It means that you must know the limit of what you can say at any given time, how you can say it, to whom you can say it and when you can say it.
2 reasons you must mind what you say, whom you to say it to, where and when to say it!
- Because you don’t know who your true friends and your true friends are, especially these days, when the world has turned topsy-turvy
- Because anything you say about your partner in public, be it positive or negative, may be used against you, depending on who you say it to.
Anne was very guilty of these rules. She didn’t make extra effort to discover the true identity of Nneka before confiding classified information about me to her.
And unfortunately for her, Nneka capitalized on her lapses to steal me from her. If she were to rewind the hand of the clock, l know she would not repeat this mistake.
3. Always Watch And Pray
Jesus Christ Himself advises us to always ‘watch and pray’ (Mark 13:33). Not only concerning his coming, but about everything. Unfortunately, most Christians do not observe this injunction.
Anne was one of those Christians who never watched nor prayed. She seemed to have taken things for granted, while we were together in love. And consequently, she paid the ultimate price.
So, apart from being careful of what you say about your love-partner in public and to whom you say it to, never forget to pray to God about your relationship, especially when you hope that the affair would metamorphosed into a blissful marriage.
After saying your prayers, always make sure you watch out for any sign that might harm you or your relationship with your partner.
