3 Disciplines That Protect Any Relationship

Strong marriages and strong relationships are not sustained by feelings. They are sustained by discipline.

Feelings are beautiful. They bring attraction, excitement, and emotional connection. But feelings were never designed to carry covenant.

Discipline is what carries covenant.

  • Emotional discipline.

  • Financial discipline.

  • Sexual discipline.

  • Communication discipline.

  • Spiritual discipline.

Love without structure weakens over time.

That is why Scripture says:

โ€œMoreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.โ€

1 Corinthians 4:2 (NKJV)

Marriage is stewardship.
Relationships that are building toward marriage are stewardship.
You do not โ€œfeelโ€ your way into longevity.
You build your way into it.
Whether you are married or preparing for marriage โ€”

are you building discipline, or just enjoying feelings?
