One of the best things you can do for your partner is praying and protecting it spiritually. One of the greatest movies that I ever watched illustrating the problems most people face is Fireproof your marriage. Once you understand the concept that you don’t leave your partner in a fire emotionally and spiritually, you understand you can become stronger and grow with your partner through out life.

Your relationships will go through a death and rebirth and go through cycles every year. It can be reborn and renewed every year, and is worth celebrating. You are two growing beings, always changing, and you both have two different belief systems that are always breaking down and renewing. Partners are in out of balance, and going through their own seasons of change as well as their own emotional and spiritual journey. Patience is a big key in these times.

You can protect your realtionship with prayer, and meditation. There are three books that can help you on your journey: Power of a praying woman, Power of a praying husband, Power of changing your marriage by Stormie Omartian. Focus and learn how to take responsibility in your own life and love life with your partner. Are you honoring them every day? Loving them unconditionally, accepting their differences? Are you dropping your judgments about how they should be, or dropping the idea you need to pick out all their faults, and mistakes? Are you focusing on all the negative? If you are, is this really your partners problem and issue or your own? Why do you feel you need to change them? Why do you feel the need to fix them? Why do you feel the need to rescue them? Are you emotionally healthy and stable spiritually yourself? Have you healed your own heart and become a whole person? Have you dealt with all the emotional triggers that come up during your relationship? Is it really your partner, or are you needing to become more aware of whay you think, feel, and behave the way you do towards your partner?

I believe you really need to learn to look at the whole picture, take responsibility for your part, and leave your partner to do the same. Stop worrying about what he’s doing and start praying for every area of their life with love. This can be their finances, their friendships, business partners, their family, their job, their relationship with you, and their temptations.

What loving things do you do for your partner everyday? What ways do you try to send the message that you care for them very deeply. Do you ask them what you can pray about? Your partner has many issues as you do that need praying about. They also need to be listened too, and heard. While you may want to nag, preach, judge, and interfere in there growth and spirituality. You need to stop and allow them just to be in the moment. Do what is most harmless and not harmful.

Are you an upper in your partners life, or a downer? What kind of messages and thoughts do you send their way? What kind of language do you use? Do you lift them up, or tear them down. What kind of body language do you use around them?

These are things you have to think about and pray about. There are many books out there to help you learn to pray for your partner and protect your relationship.
