One of the most pivotal reasons for a successful relationship that will lead to marriage is healthy communication.
Communication is so important that the very life we live is predicated on it.
Keep a person in isolation from birth, away from sunlight, hibernated from language and vocabularies, devoid of fellowship with fellow man, and you will have at the end of the day an imbecile, a nincompoop, incapable of processing information rightly, and unable to be integrated into the society.
So it is in the realm of the spirit. Every time you stay out of constant communication with God, there is bound to be chaos and disorder.
Apostle Paul said, ‘ That I may know Him...”
How I so much love it in Amplified Version:
Php 3:10 (AMPC)
[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope]
Look at some of the words used here.
Progressively become
Deeply and intimately acquainted
Perceiving
Recognizing
Understanding
Strongly and more clearly
Come to know
These are deep words that attempt to paint and convey the depth of communication on the canvas of our hearts.
If we can truly discern the art and interpret the colors, we will have a beautiful gallery of the very life itself.
Show me any man that lives according to the words above and I will show you a man who fellowships with God.
Show me a husband who seeks to live according to these words and I will show you a man who is committed to his babe...in Christ!
Show me a wife who does the above and I will show you a wife who is focused on her husband.
Baseline, you are in a good relationship when there is good communication.
When that guy has not called you for a while, he is probably in love with someone else.
And there is nothing as debilitating to be in love with the one that is not in love with you.
When that lady refuses to stay in touch, she does not love you, nay, she does not love you!
And when you are out of communication with God, you are not in a relationship with him, and the very destiny of that man, will drag, his love life will collapse, for out of sync with God is it out of sync with life.
Howbeit, if the same man realizes his errors and reverses his foolishness, God will use everlasting hands of love and wisdom to wrap him, to the intent that his foolishness will soon be forgotten, and consequences of his past actions, null and void.
This heritage we have in God!
May God grant more understanding.
