So the big question, is are you ready to work and keep working on your relationship? The truth is that you will only become a success at something you work at. Nobody can do this work for you. Its something that you have to do yourself. To take your relationship with your spouse, friend, or even God to the next level, you have to be willing to work and to keep working on it. My dear reader, the more you are willing to work and to keep working on your relationship, the better it will become. Philip2v12. Essentially speaking, relationships are like a two-way street constantly under construction. Dearly beloved, to what extent are you willing to work on your relationship?

2. Value and cherish dearly the relationships that God has brought into your life.
This is how to become a success in your relational life. How much do you value the relationships in your life? What you don’t value, you will joke with or even abuse. The value you place on a thing will determine its importance and its place in your life. It’s time for you to take the God sent or ordained relationships in your life more seriously because this is one of the keys to your relational success. Pro31v10. I have discovered that the more you value the relationships in your life, the greater the benefits and dividends that will come into your life. So, my admonition to you today is to start treating the relationships that matter in your life properly. Treat your spouse right. Treat your kids and siblings right. Treat your mentors right. Treat your fellow brothers and sisters right. Treat the people that God has sent into your life very well by every possible means. Appreciate them properly. As you do this, you will be laying a solid foundation for your success relationally speaking in Jesus name amen. However, in as much as you strive to treat properly those God has sent into your life, you also need to know the following truths:
-Not everyone can be your friend
-Some people will like you, while some people will dislike you. Jn15v25
-You cannot please everybody.
-Not everyone is mean, wicked, and bad.
-Nobody is perfect; we are all a work in progress. Matt5v48
