“The agenda of the relationship…”

That’s an awesome way of putting it!

Our hopes , Our dreams , Our desires
WE can GROW twice as big together than we can , grow alone.

@ Harriet & Whyte 23
Thanks for the love….this is certainly a lesson I had to learn in our relationship. While “loosing yourself to become oneself” is an ongoing process ….based on the fruits our relationship has produced I can proudly proclaim that it is DEFINITELY worth it.

Thanks Ayize and Aiyana for another great episode and providing some more food for thought for our relationships. Like Ayize, this is a lesson that I had to learn..and that I am still learning in our relationship…but working together and collaborating is really the best way to do things in a relationship. Also knowing the agenda of the relationship helps too. I think couples need to talk and actually discuss what their relationship/parenting/financial goals are and how they plan on attaining them.

Now, I think THIS is my favorite episode of “The Bottom Line.” What a crucial lesson for couples to learn!! IMO the escalating divorce rate is probably attributable to the fact that we live in a world that stresses “looking out for number one” and exist in marriages that will fail if number one is all we look out for. Until we can begin to teach young couples about the benefits of having and communicating common goals, we will likely continue moving in the wrong direction…. I pray that the Creator continues to inspire you both with a good word for couples dedicated to making their marriages work.

I love this! The ring example was on point. The ring does represent us needing to have a common goal in our marriages even though we may have different ways of reaching that goal.
