. Good marriage relationships help keep one contented, and physically and emotionally healthy.

On the other hand, without meaningful relationships we can limp along in the shadows of life eking out a miserable and sometimes lonesome existence.

It has been claimed that eighty percent of life?s satisfaction comes from relationships; that is, healthy, loving relationships.

ut does one need to be married to experience loving relationships? If so, our society would be in sad shape as a considerable percentage of adults in today?s society are single?either having never married, or are divorced or widowed

And, of course, the high percentage of divorces testifies to the fact that marriage, in and of itself, doesn?t guarantee satisfaction?oft times just the opposite.

So the answer to our question is no, one doesn?t have to be married to find fulfillment and happiness.

In fact, nobody except me can make me happy. Happiness basically comes from within.

Furthermore, unless we have learned how to live fulfilled, contented and happy lives as singles, we are not likely to find fulfilling relationships or make healthy marriage partners should we decide to marry

Happy, well-adjusted people tend to have happy well-adjusted relationships.

Looking to someone else to meet our unmet needs and fill the void caused by unresolved personal issues is a recipe for relational disaster.

This is why it is imperative to resolve our own personal problems if we are to find loving, lasting and healthy relationships. Fundamentally, to a varying degree, especially romantically, we are as sick or as healthy as the people we are attracted to

If you have either chosen a single life or been thrust into it by circumstances beyond your control, the question is, as a single, "How do you find fulfillment and satisfaction in light of the fact that we have been created for relationships?"

First, make a commitment to continue growing emotionally and spiritually.

Be a perpetual learner.

Read widely, attend helpful relational classes, seminars and retreats.

Got an Empty Love-Tank?

Love your neighbor as yourself."1

That's a principle that Jesus taught. At times this can be difficult to do, especially if our "love-tank" is running on low.

One beautifully decorated float suddenly came to a standstill.

It ran out of fuel!

The irony was that this float was that of the Standard Oil Company?one of the large fuel companies of North America.

With all their vast oil and gasoline (petrol) resources they failed to make sure their own vehicle was running on full.

Do you ever feel like you're trying to run on an empty love-tank? Or feel that your love-tank could do with some topping up?

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please help me to find and know the peace that only you can give.

Grant, too, that my love-tank will be filled to overflowing and splash over onto every life I touch

Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name,lasar
