Week 1 – Frank's thoughts – Open Communication

 Jodi,

I thought it was pretty interesting the first week in the topic that it talks about.

The topic is open communication.

The Scripture they use is as follows.

Proverbs 15:1

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. 

I've always loved that Scripture.

The lady starts off in the book talk about how over the course of her life she's had the opportunity to speak to many individuals about relationships.

Communication can be difficult especially if you're communicating through texts and even email.

Long-distance communications might even seem more difficult.

However, when you know that God is involved in the relationship it makes it so much easier for you to have special peace that can come from that.

One of the things I believe that is important is that we don't look at our past in how things were then.

A lot of times we use our past experiences unintentionally in the way we communicate today.

I believe that you and I have greater communication than we ever have had before.

And I'm thankful for that and I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Think about all the different communication that we have on a daily basis.

I think of myself dealing with my family, my work associates, and the clients that I deal with.

At 57 years old I know that I have grown a lot in this area and I still have growth.

As a man that loves God so much I want to be the best example in every area of my life and to you as your future husband be the best man that I can be for you and your family.

I know there are areas in my life where I still need to grow and I stand before God I promise you that I will do that with God's help.

I know this is the first post and I believe there's a lot more for me to say and as I pray and ask God for wisdom I will communicate that with you.

I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and my heart's desire is to have a future with you and together you and I can do great things.

I believe now more than ever that God has a special plan for you and me.

I know we had an awesome relationship from 2012 Thomas 2017.

From my end I know I was not at the place where it would not it worked long term.

But now I believe that we both are at a place where this can work and I believe that God has his hand in our lives in a greater way than we could ever imagine.

I know that if God's and those that everything will turn out the way that it's supposed to be.

I'm going to close on this first post but I promise you that I will do everything in my power with Gods help to always treat you well. 

Besides God, you're the greatest thing that's ever happened to me and I love you more than words can say.

I will talk to you later today sweetheart.

I love you.

    Thank you babe. I look forward to reading the first chapter and then i will share my feelings. I will say that I wasn't even going to tell you about the clothes lol and then when you said it was on open communication I had to be honest. I am the type that tends to keep everything private and not share much. the only person that I really shared all my worries and concerns with (besides God in prayer) was my momma.

    I will do my best to keep the communication open with you. I love you

      I can understand.

      I think sometimes we keep things private because of past experiences.

      In our past interactions with people and relationships there have been times that people have done us wrong.

      I understand that trust takes times to build.

      I need to examine my heart and see what things I need to share with you.

      I will do my best to always be open with you.

      I will not have any secrets with you.

      I believe that relationships such as ours need to have trust.

      I think sometimes we are afraid to share because of what we think the other person might think. Or we are afraid they are going to judge us.

      I would never judge you intentionally.

      If there is something bothering me I would be open and honest with you about it to try to get some understanding.

      I love you!!!

  Babe, I just read through chapter one, sorry that it took me so long.  I think what I really noticed most is the part about sometimes we choose to not communicate because we want to avoid conflict.  Boy is that me through and through.  I will do my best to try to pray and them come to you if I have anything that I need to discuss with you.  I will do my best to  keep the lines of communication open.  I love you and I appreciate everything that you do and I am so thankful for you.

Frank Week 2- Leaving Cleaving Genesis 2 – 24

 Week 2 – Leaving Cleaving Genesis 2 – 24 24. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. The Scripture talks about how a man and woman who get married become one flesh. The chapter in week two talks about how we separate ourselves from the family and certain decisions that have to be made before you actually get married. Truly I think a lot of it has to do with trust. You and I have had some experiences that we could say that we have been through the school of hard knocks. We have had people that have done us wrong and sometimes we have to be mindful that we don't carry that into our relationship. Truly I know I have made mistakes and those mistakes have taught me what works and what doesn't work. You and I today are at or better spot in our lives because of our experiences. I want to be able to share my heart in my dreams my pains in my hurts with you and I know that you would never share that with anybod...
