Imagine if you could have one relationship wish granted, what would it be? As we continue living in this Covid-19 pandemic era, relationships on every level are affected. Some people are single and are content with their singleness, but may yet long for companionship. Social distancing changes our level of interaction with other people in general. Other single people desire to be in a personal relationship with someone but have fewer opportunities today. One thing I believe is this pandemic gives everyone more time to evaluate their life. We have more time than ever on our hands.

Let’s shift to married individuals. I was in a conversation with someone recently who said that the pandemic is driving some couples apart. Why? Because they spend more time than ever at home together. With people wanting to stay closer to home to avoid contracting the Coronavirus, spouses generally have more personal contact with one another. Therefore, what wish would you ask that could enhance your marital relationship?

Everyone has their personal stories about who they are self-quarantining with and the effect of this new isolation. So, take a few minutes and think about who you are and what your desires are concerning relationships. If you could have one relationship wish granted, what would it be? We all know that any relationship, no matter how good it is, it could be better. Don’t look for perfection, but visualize your ideal relationship with your significant other or spouse. If you are unmarried but desire to be in a relationship, how would it look? I sometimes think not enough thought is given to relationships before they happen. I remember a saying long ago, one of the sisters in my church would always say, “Proper preparation prevents poor performance.”

Hopefully, after you come up with a wish, you will do whatever you can to make it come to fruition. Sometimes the factor that is needed to make a relationship better has to spring forth from you. Therefore, if you could have one relationship wish granted, what would it be? Please take the time to give careful consideration to this question, and I would love for you to share your thoughts on this topic. Next week will end our “Tough Question” series unless you have a tough question you want addressing. If so, please submit it to my contact page. And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. 1 Kings 4: 29. I’ll be back next week with a new post, Tough Question: “How Do You Peacefully Get Family Members To Stay In Their Lane?”

Be encouraged, and God bless!
