RECONCILIATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS essay
( C 2004 ) Josie Roberts
The following are the essentials in any plan for relationship reconciliation.
1. A common vision statement that each of you
wholeheartedly acknowledges and promises not
to betray even while broke up.
2. A list of pleasures too important to do
without except by break up for an agreed
period.
3.The basis for divorce -- a list of stumbling
blocks that are too difficult to overcome
because they threaten relationship to God. So
such things should be avoided or ignored,
consciously explicitly and willfully, with
never a discussion. This is done by mutual
agreement and for the purpose of avoiding
torment.
4. Where each of you goes for recovery when you
breakup and what the signal is to makeup
again.
5. A list of responsibilities and who is in
charge of each, plus under what
conditions this list merits revision.
6. A list of verses in the Bible of earnest
belief, at most 12, in historical sequence by
which you came by them, with hopefully the
how and why you came to believe each.
7. A list of irresolvable quandries for which
daily forgiveness is sought.
8. A list of joys in the relationship for which
you are eternally thankful.
