All Written By @troubledontlast Follow @troubledontlast @upliftpastcrossroads @upliftwithdrj Imagine how our relationships would change if we fought for what mattered most. Fighting to stay present. Fighting distraction. Fighting the temptation to choose screen-time over face-time. Fighting to love one another when the long list of demands begs for our attention. Fighting to keep God in the center. Instead of fighting against one another, let's fight for our relationships. How can you fight for your relationship today? I am cheering you on! #repost @mindsetbuddies When you have something good, you don't play with it. You don't take chances with it. You give it every single thing you can because, when you take care of something good, that something good will take care of you. #takingcareofthings A great relationship doesn't happen because of the love you had in the beginning, but how well you continue building love until the end. #makingthingslast Relationships end too soon, because people stop putting the same effort to keep you as they did to win you. #makethingslast A relationship is like a house. When a lightbulb burns out you do not go and buy a new house. You fix the lightbulb. #makethingswork If you want to change something about yourself, you have to start loving it. For instance, when you love your body, you'd do whatever it takes to make sure it is well maintained and healthy. #truelove It takes two to make love work. #thingscanlast Consistency is key! In all aspects of a relationship. #goodthingscanlast RULE FOR A RELATIONSHIP: A man must take care of his woman and a woman must take care of her man. No one is before the other. It's about teamwork. #makinglovelastforever Relationships never die a natural death. They are murdered by ego, attitude and ignorance. #makelovelastforever Happy couples never stop flirting, dating and making each other happy. #takecareofwhatyouhave I'm going to take care of things. There's things I need to sort out. I'm going to take care of things. They're not where I need them right now. I know there's good in everything and it'll show itself when you're gentle to it. I'm going to take care of things. #takecareofeverything (at Mount Juliet, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2HjdT0FYND/?igshid=33tthgblzsua
