A potential relationship is one which build you; develop your mindset, improve your spiritual and physical life, exercises your potentials. It is the very one where both supports each other!
Any relationship that is not allowing you to serve God faithfully is not helping you to fulfill your purposes as God pleases, in respect to your potentials. It should be the one that will offer you into your purpose and make you successful. So, as a man or woman you need someone who will stand beside you always until that purpose is successful or been achieved.
Acceptance is difficult when it comes to agreement! Many of us will not agree to the fact that any woman who is sitting down, just staying without helping her man to the success story is a stupid one indeed. The same applies to the man. That statement of behind every successful man is a good woman should be corrected to “beside every successful man is a good woman.”
As a woman, you don’t need to be at his back always; all the time to be carried… Watching him making ways, and moves and succeeding while you as his woman keep hiding behind him without knowing your worth and boasting around. It is only few women who understand these facts and have really impacted so much in their various homes and establishments.
Actually, I am on the side of the women. I want them to wise up and know their responsibility and Worth in their homes, even in their relationships. Before, it is said that behind every successful man is a good woman. I say no to that statement. It should be by the side; beside every successful man is a good woman… She need to stand by him, encourage him, bring in her worth, manage the affairs and develop her home. That is the success story.
And, besides my dear, God did not made the woman out of the man’s back or front. He took her from the side, meaning she should be right there beside him. To be his completion and not his remainder or controller! God has a reason for that very action and idea. She is not to be his Boss or slave… She has to be his woman; Wo-man – Besides, grow and go together. No matter the amount of money she has, she ought to respect him, which will increase the love and maintain their responsibilities. In addition, After bringing in the idea of a woman to the man, God then gave them to bid to be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth and other commissions. When did this happen? Right after the woman came in place, standing right beside the Man as a helpmate. Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. Their journey of life will be fruitful by wisdom, understanding and knowledge.
There is no good woman who will be willingly or voluntarily watching her man from behind succeed without coming out to make sure he does! The power of the woman is in her mind of involvement and not just in her body as a human thought! That is one of the reasons God brought her forth to exist with the man… He made her to get involved and assist the man. That idea is of a great potential in their relationship towards other creatures. In a right frame of mind, every good woman stays with her man and assist in the way or to their success. It is only those who have refused to accept the fact of reality and to come to understand the success way is best done with your partner being involved.
A potential relationship is one that is directed or focus to God firstly, your partner and then to the people around you! It is a mutual relationship that builds each other positively morally, mentally and emotionally. It ought not to be a one sided beneficiary institute affair! It’s like two people who discovered a treasure somewhere; but need to overcome the difficulties and roadblocks along the way as to make it a successful one. Allowing just one of them to clear the way and bring forth the treasure will be harder and takes more time than expected compare to when the two put heads together and work towards on how to get in touch with the treasure and be successful. Which both of them work on the difficulties, join hands to remove the roadblocks, you will observe that the way will be smooth, tidy and wide. Not only that, the treasure or success will be so much than expected.
Therefore, instead of being stupid staying behind and not doing anything, stay beside him, walk and work side by side with him towards the success. That is the evidence of a potential relationship!
It should be the kind or one that inspire those you are relating with in respect to building their lives, getting closer and nearer to the Creator. It should not only be a relationship where you gain the financial, material or rather fleshy attributes. A potential relationship is a kind of relationship that should build those involved Physically and Spiritually!
This applies to the men also. There should be a good man besides his woman. You are not to be jealous or envy or rather stand behind and watch her suffer to succeed then you will be like, I’m the husband. No, it should not be so. Yes, work it out with or assist her in your own way to the success story. Two is better than one and makes it easier to get to the treasure land!
