Demonstrating patience in a relationship creates thankfulness in the relationship. Being thankful creates an atmosphere where you want to grow in your relationship with your spouse. God’s patience is based on a desire that he values the relationship to such a degree that he is willing to wait for it to mature. Once we realize God’s patience with us, our thankful hearts draw us closer to him. Patience with your spouse has the same effect. When you demonstrate your love and appreciation for your spouse during their challenges and times of pain, you communicate acceptance. Acceptance allows a couple to be transparent and real with each other resulting in true intimacy. The result is unconditional love which is essential for a couple to really experience the “oneness” that God designed.
