Focus: I WAS MADE TO BE A PRINCELY FATHER LIKE JESUS
FIRST PRAY THIS 👍 “I repent from what I’ve done. I know I deserve death. Thank Jesus for dying in my place. I believe you resurrected from the dead and are ALIVE today. I’m forgiven of my sins. I’m saved from the accuser. I’m healed medically & physically. I LOVE YOU JESUS! I’m whole mentally. I’m restored spiritually ONLY because of your blood that you shed Jesus on the cross in the Name of the father, the son Jesus, and the holy spirit. AMEN!”

- Nonverbal Cues: Pay attention to body language and tone of voice, which often speak louder than words.
- Practice Active Listening: Focus entirely on your partner without interrupting, reflecting back on what you hear to ensure understanding.
- Use "I" Statements: Express feelings using "I feel..." to avoid sounding accusatory (e.g., "I feel overwhelmed" vs. "You make me feel...").
- Dedicate Daily Time (10-Minute Rule): Spend at least 10 minutes daily discussing non-stressful topics (hopes, dreams, gratitude) to keep connections strong.
- Create Uninterrupted Time: Schedule at least three hours weekly with no phones or distractions to focus solely on each other.
- Show Empathy and Respect: Try to understand your partner's perspective, even when disagreeing, and maintain a kind, respectful tone.
- Manage Conflict Constructively: Take breaks when emotions escalate to prevent damaging arguments.
- Be Vulnerable and Honest: Openly share feelings and fears to deepen emotional intimacy.
- Regularly Express Gratitude: Frequently acknowledge and appreciate your partner’s actions.
