All About Relationships

True success is marked by what you’re in love with. If you’re obsessed with your plan, your ideas or your path, you can miss the joy of life and the ways of wisdom. What sets you apart in this upcoming year, will be your willingness to let go of your agendas and prioritize peace. Your dedication to edit your private-self-talk will stimulate life-filled relationships with those around you. Your con...

Have you ever become weary of living in this world? Weary of your relationships? Tiredness can easily slip into cynicism, something that becomes challenging to shake off. The downward spiral of doubt that something will change, or whether it is worthwhile trying is a legitimate feeling, yet, we believe it is one that can be overcome. https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://www.bobandaudrey.com/   Musi...

There’s good news in your relationships: There is always something to celebrate even if you don’t always agree! Getting to the place of openness, honesty, and truly enjoying each other doesn’t require having the same opinions. Differences are what keep the relationship interesting. https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://www.bobandaudrey.com/   Music by lemonmusicstudio from Pixabay.

Have you ever met someone who has experienced injustice and mistreatment, and they seem to have managed to bounce back and even enjoy life? The most common and natural human reaction to an offence or distaste would be to retaliate or become resentful. But then there are those who have learned to be relationally generous. Instead of holding grudges, they have put away the bitterness. https://www.au...

There are independent people and codependent people and they usually find each other! We tend to be in one of those camps - even if mildly, and knowing how this affects us under stress is an important lesson. https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://www.bobandaudrey.com/   Music by lemonmusicstudio from Pixabay.

Your decisions design your life. Everyone wants to know the future, but imagine the security you will experience as you see a clear path in front of you. Instead of dissecting the unknown, let’s prepare for the unknown by establishing heart beliefs in God’s promises. Let’s become geniuses at making the best decisions. https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://www.bobandaudrey.com/   Music by lemonmusics...

We want you to have the best year you have ever had in your life. We want you to experience passion, life, joy and vulnerability.

We want you to partner together with God and have hope like never before. ht...

You can always find what you’re looking for. Whether it’s finding the “good” in someone, or the “bad” in a certain situation. We are all seeking, and we are all finding. Living intentionally about what you are seeking after and what you’re thinking about changes atmospheres, relationships, and your future. https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://www.bobandaudrey.com/   Music by lemonmusicstudio from P...

Why do we keep records? So that we can remember. Love keeps no records of wrongs. Why do we tend to remember past hurts even more vividly than past pleasures? Why do we want people to know how badly they have hurt us? Why do we want to keep score? Why is it so hard to let the history of our hurts go, especially if the accounts haven’t been settled?https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://www.bobandaudr...

Suffering is experiencing anything we absolutely DO NOT want to experience. The difference between suffering and longsuffering is: To suffer is to be a victim, blaming those around you wallowing in self-pity. To be longsuffering is to free! To make the deliberate and intentional choice to live indefinitely with something we hate. https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://www.bobandaudrey.com/   Music by...

Do you want to embrace true life and lasting relationships? Do you want to find beauty in each day? Expressing kindness is a stepping stone to living in harmony. When we make it our number one goal to demonstrate affection and love, kindness is the first step. It takes surrender and humility to love each other with gentleness and tenderness. It takes courage to stop speaking evil and hurtful words...

When we are scared, or essentially don’t feel safe, we will control our behaviors and our conversations. We may even filter information and withhold information that may cause conflict. The result is a disconnect that seems impossible to recover from. If someone you love isn’t telling you the “whole truth” maybe you haven’t been in a safe place to be vulnerable. It’s easy to blame the other and ta...

What do you do when you realize that marriage isn’t going to supply your needs? You thought you married the person who would help you up when you’re down, carry the load when you’re tired, and make you laugh when you lose perspective. There is a natural ability and desire to bring happiness, safety, and a sense of belonging into your marriage, but the desire to love unconditionally can fade, espec...

Why do some relationships survive storms, and some don’t? Giving attention and intention to your foundation sets the stage for limitless opportunities. The first step to building a secure bedrock is looking at yourself, and what you are willing to give. An amazing life isn’t just about what you are getting, but what you are willing to offer without restraint.https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://www...

Consider developing a reservoir of hope for your present relationships. Through imagining yourself as high-functioning, loving unconditionally, being patient, and kind in every circumstance you are rehearsing the best possibilities. The Hoover Dam is a reservoir that produces power and energy. Your reservoir of hope has the potential to develop emotional strength and power in your marriage, your f...

Have you ever wanted someone to tell you how? You understand that harbouring bitter pain is harmful, but letting go is easier said than done. You want to get rid of the pit in your stomach, but it seems to have a stubborn mind of its own. You admit that your relationships would be less complicated if you could let go of resentment, but how is that even possible?https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://...

When you have the dream to get somewhere, you can find a way. We have all experienced those turning points in our lives. The moments when we make a decision that changes everything. Where we know that right then and there, we are re-defining ourselves and shifting the course of our life. Reflecting on life-changing moments is a great exercise in connection and gratitude. https://www.audreyclub.com...

If you get up every morning feeling afraid, full of dread for the day, discouraged and still tired from the day before, we’ve got the best news. God doesn’t use a magic wand to grant us joy like a fairy godmother. He partners with us to slay the giants of our wrong beliefs. Instead of changing your circumstances, and the people around you, you get to change how you think and believe about them.htt...

Clarity and focus are your choices, and they change your atmosphere, your relationships, and your possibilities. Even if your circumstances and relationships feel toxic, you have the power to change the trajectory of your future. Being the thermostat of hope in your home makes you highly influential, and it all starts with your decision. https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://www.bobandaudrey.com/  ...

You were created to live in a state of hope, joy, and peace... these aren’t just emotions but can become your abiding feelings, based on your beliefs about who you are, why you were created, and who your Creator really is. There are no hopeless circumstances, just hopeless people, and you can choose to be full of hope. https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://www.bobandaudrey.com/   Music by lemonmusic...

How come words affect us so much? Why do we take words so personally? How does a little word change everything? Our words have so much power, in both directions! To destroy and damage and break people down, or to mend, and heal and comfort and bring joy and assurance. If words are that powerful, why aren’t we more careful with them?https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://www.bobandaudrey.com/   Music...

Resentment keeps us focused on a perception of unfairness, and justice wants to scream out for equilibrium. The “wronged” person feels that they are not getting the help, appreciation, reward, or affection that they deserve. They feel like the betrayal is too deep, and the other person hasn’t “paid” enough for their dishonorable behavior. Even though there may be substantiating evidence to prove t...

Taking time to ponder your survival skill as you were younger can become a key to understanding how others experience you, and lead you to higher planes of functionality and resolve. Finding this key is a gift you give those around you, unlocking the places you get stuck in your relationship. It’s you doing your part to find the holding patterns and revealing limitations.https://www.audreyclub.com...

Have you ever felt disrespected in your relationships? If that’s the case, you are not alone. It is likely that the person who is acting disrespectfully towards you may have issues of insecurity and feels highly misunderstood and unheard. Their reactions and pushback are demonstrated in a way to diminish others to feel empowered and good about themselves.https://www.audreyclub.com/ https://www.bob...

Anxiety can come from guessing another’s motives and thoughts. When you feel like there’s a disconnect, it’s natural to wonder why. Why aren’t my adult children kind to me? What did I do wrong? How are they so easily offended and smothered by me? Why doesn’t my family respect my values? Any of these questions can lead you down a tortuous path of wondering and suspecting the worst-case scenario. ht...
