What did you identify as an area of lust? What has this pursuit cost you over time? How has it led you away from the person you want to be? Write about your new commitment to seek Him –and to seek your partner – rather than seeking after foolish desires.
End it now. Identify every object of lust in your life and remove it. Single out every lie you’ve swallowed in pursuing forbidden pleasure and reject it. Lust cannot be allowed to live in a back bedroom. It must be killed and destroyed – today – and replaced with the sure promises of God and a heart filled with His perfect love.

Relationship BootcampDaring to love is one of the most crucial elements of a long-term, committed relationship. Whether new or old, perfect or falling apart, a relationship can only get better. I do not claim to be an expert by any means. In some ways, I could use more work in some aspects than most. However, I have realized how important my relationship is to me, and I am committed to making it better from here on out. In light of this, I have done a lot of soul-searching, a lot of praying, and a lot of homework. Compiling it here, maybe it won't help just me. Bettering a relationship is not something that is ever considered by most. Most just believe things are the way they are, and he/she will never change. However, it is selfish to put blame on another and not look at yourself first. The first step is to take a look at yourself, and then build a path to nurturing your relationship. Choosing to lead your heart and choosing to love will, in the end, change you, your partner, and potentially change your life. Archives
