Two Things You Must NOT Do To Me

Being in a relationship is not about flying from Hawaii to Tokyo, not about having a house on the popular Victoria Island in Lagos, nor is it about lodging in the best hotels in London with your partner. It's not about driving the best cars, or knowing what to buy for your partner. All this can come and go, but the heart remains either together or apart. Every single relationship should be guided by the power of the heart. It's possible for your partner to get for you every single thing there is, but their heart is very far away from you. Keep that in mind. So don't be deceived by the things you see them do for you (you might consider reading this). However, I won't be ignorant of the fact there are people who go into a relationship without being interested in loving each other deeply. This roller-coaster relationship is not what I'm talking about here.

So, are you in a strong relationship - marriage, dating, or even in a normal day-to-day business, etc? What matters most to you? I expect different answers here, of course. But to me, it's simple. Two things you must not do to me: don't cheat on me, and don't lie to me. I can easily forgive and forget every other thing but these two, and I will explain why. Take, for example, a marital affair. Marrying and staying with one person ONLY for the rest of your life isn't child's play; it's a hard decision to make and stick to. If I've decided to live with you for the rest of my life, shunning about 7 billion people around the world (Ooops! I should have counted only the opposite sex), then you should know I'm sold to you, I'm in love with you, I mean business with you, and I deserve to be loved with all amount of truth. After Jesus' death for man, nothing can be so expensive than deciding to be with someone forever, till you die. It hurts me seeing lovers cheat on, and lie to, each other. 

Do you cheat and lie to your partner? The enormity of what you've done is immeasurable. You've belittled your partner, you've taken them for granted, you've shown they're worthless, you've disrespected them, you've shared their glory with others, you've exposed them, you've told them they made a mistake to decide to love you - words cannot explain! It hurts!! It's clear betrayal!

Not until you become the second me, and I become the second you, our relationship is still a strange one. We need to be each other! If you can't cheat on yourself, if you can't lie to yourself, then I don't deserve it! We need to treat each other consciously with love, respect, trust, and faithfulness. These don't come by chance; you have to work to gain them.
I encourage everyone reading this to have a rethink. It's biologically hard to stick to one partner, but it's morally and consciously possible to achieve that fit.
