Needing a Relationship Miracle?

Now the Lord God said, “It is not good (beneficial) for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper [one who balances him—a counterpart who is] suitable and complementary for him.” Genesis 2:18 (AMP)

Have you ever heard someone talk about how their partner just “gets” them? What they’re really saying is, their partner speaks their love language, which makes them feel incredible.

Now, most of us speak one love language well, and it’s usually the same one that we crave ourselves. Oftentimes, how we show love to our spouse is the way we want to feel loved. But here’s the problem: almost nobody marries someone that prefers the same love language! Often, after years of speaking basically foreign languages to each other, they can begin to feel unloved and drift towards coldness and hurt.

I’ve counselled countless couples who felt like they needed a miracle to get back on track. Now, there are a variety of reasons why marriages end up in trouble, but sometimes the miracle needed in a relationship involves simply learning how to show the other person your love.

Maybe you’ve been hurt and think, “Well, I have God. He’s all I need.” I understand where you’re coming from, but even as He walked with Adam in the Garden, God could see that relationships with others would be beneficial for mankind. That’s why He created Eve!

Relationships are made up of imperfect people. However, even difficult ones can turn around as we learn to speak each other’s love languages.

If a relationship needs rekindling, practice speaking a few other love languages and take note of how the person reacts. Ask yourself, “How does this person show love to others?” It’s incredible what happens when someone feels that you really “get” them!
