Reconciliation

By Robert Ryder

This teaching is for those of you who are going through a separation, a divorce, or loss of a friendship. I will primarily focus on reconciling a marriage, but the same principles can be used in any relationship. There is no guarantee that you will be reunited with your loved one, but there is one thing you can hang onto by faith. If you will receive, during this difficult trial, an invitation to grow in humility and in love, you will emerge the victor!

Dedication

This book is dedicated to the Lord for his faithfulness in reconciliation.

2 Cor 5:17-19

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation

In the beginning

As you read this book, you will discover that reconciliation is possible.  I believe God is going to open your eyes and show you the way to this reality.  The definition of reconcile is to reestablish a close relationship, to settle or resolve, to bring oneself to accept, to make compatible or consistent, to reestablish a close relationship as in marriage, to be compatible or consistent.

There are a lot of people who go through problems in relationships.  Many times the difficulties start with disagreements in communication, money, or the showing of affection. These leads to a breakdown in the relationship, it starts to fall apart.  The next thing is that the people say they are not in love anymore.  One of the persons wants to be reconciled and the other doesn’t. What do you do now?  There’s a lot of heartache——the person who wants to be reconciled gets hurt and the one who doesn’t want to be around gets hurt.  The objective is to bring you into relationship so the issue(s) can be solved.

I want to give you some tremendous insights so your relationship can be reconciled.  First we must learn what some of the causes are of separation.  Some of these causes are from bad behaviors.  People can do dumb things!  Their attitudes, the way they say things, the way they do things, their demeanor, the way they do certain things breaks down the relationship.  There can be laziness——one person does all the dishes and the other never helps.  This could be due to learned behavior or just bad manners.  So what we want to do is to identify them so we can change them.  Here’s a partial list of the situations people get into: blaming others, having a critical spirit, impatience, lack of kindness, lack of manners, unnecessary roughness,
