- Harmful influences: work schedules
- Unhealthy relationships: people who undermine your relationship, opposite-sex who tries to draw you away from your partner
- Shame: speaking negatively about them in public; their secrets are your secrets
- Parasites: addictions
Act as a Shepherd protecting your flock; pay attention to the predators prone to attack them and not your own pleasures
Don't have unrealistic expectations of your man; make him feel strong
Remove anything that is hindering your relationship, any addiction or influence that’s stealing your affections and turning your heart away from your partner.
What did you throw out first? Are there others that need to go as well? What do you hope the removal of these things will do for you, your relationship with your significant other, and your relationship with God?
