Why You Should Not Try To Change Your Partner

One of the hardest lessons about trusting God in our relationship is allowing God to be the change agent in our mates. For too often we think we are ordained by our Creator to change them. One way to deal with the urge to change our mates is to concentrate on the positives and let our Creator deal with the negatives. You need to see this why you are different from your partner. This will help you and your mate or partner identify areas that you would like to improve in your lives with the help of spiritual direction.
Remember, you can although mention areas you would like your mate to think about, the change is up to him or her and their Creator. Don't nag. And you also must be open to his or her suggested changes. Like you and your partner have always wanted the best for each other. One of our goals in relationship is to avoid competition between you and your partner. You are to complement each other. If one of you gets lifted up in some fashion, the other thanks God for blessing the partner.

It is so easy to get caught up in the world's mindset of being in competition with everyone—including your partner, devil would love to divide your strengths, talents, and gifts by seeing you work against each other. He will prey on your insecurity to drive a wedge between you and your spouse, fracturing your unity. 

Again, becoming encouragers to each other. Be excited about your mate's successes. Be there to comfort your partner when the contract isn't signed, the deal falls through, sickness slows him or her down, the license isn't renewed and so forth. But you learn to submit to each other by the power of the Salvation, you can allow each other to be our Creator's worker. 

Many people who say "I do" think that after they are married their spouses will change. Most of the time this doesn't happen according to our schedules and desires. Nowhere in the scripture does our Creator appoint us to be change agents for our spouses or partners. Simply tell your mate the positive and tell God the negative, ask Him to work change in your partner, talk to Him about your marriage or relationship.

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
