DOUBT DESTROYS RELATIONSHIPS
Many wonderful relationships, and even more marriages that were once filled with life, end in a way that is tragic, not because the two people in it have stopped loving each other. But because someone has planted a destructive seed of doubt in their relationship, and this can be so devastating.
No matter how concrete and strong the foundation that you and your partner have worked so hard to create in your relationship over time may be, you must realize that doubt can shatter and eventually destroy that bond.
Doubt can make you begin to question not only your future together as a couple but also the dreams you hold dear and the goals you have set for yourselves. When partners in a relationship or a spouse begins to feel or think that they are not on the same page in their dreams, ideas, or wishes, it is just a matter of time before they drift apart and eventually separate from one another.
It should also be noted that when a person is in a relationship or married, knowing whether one’s partner has doubted them, suspected motives, or felt general insecurity and lack of trust in him or her—serious signs point out that such relationships might head toward their end.
If you want to save and salvage the relationship that you treasure, then it will become important for you to introspect deeply and honesty at yourself and your own behavior and actions. Are you perhaps doing something or spending time with somebody in a manner that could be causing your spouse to behave in a way that is disturbing or alarming?
You should think about whether there could be some secrets or other aspects of your life that you may be keeping or hiding from them. If, however, you have resolved that you are innocent of such actions and behavior, then it will do you well to carefully examine closely the people in your partner’s life-the ones they talk to, the voices they are listening to, and the advice they could be getting from others.
It is quite possible that you are unconsciously undermining the health and stability of your relationship, or perhaps there is someone who has a stake in tearing it down. There are so many cases where men of the cloth have tragically ruined relationships, masquerading under the auspices of prophetic words, having made one spouse come to the devastating realization that there is no future with a spouse.
If you find yourself married or involved in a committed relationship with someone, it is essential that you do not permit any feelings of doubt or uncertainty to infiltrate the bond that you share with your partner. Allowing such doubts to take root could lead you to wake up one day, possibly out of nowhere, and come to the unsettling realization that perhaps you were never truly meant to be together as a couple in the first place.
In conclusion, it is important to heed the wisdom of the words from the scripture: “Don’t be fooled by those who say such things. If you listen to them you will start acting like them” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 (TLB).
