Being a spiritual leader in a relationship is often hard, and it�s okay to be overwhelmed. When you�re the spiritual leader in a relationship, it means it�s up to you to bring you and your significant other closer to God. It also means ensuring that you and the person you�re dating follow the teachings of God at all times.
Being a good spiritual leader can be hard, but you should not feel discouraged or down; there are ways to be a good spiritual leader. After reading these tips, you�ll be able to guide you and your significant other down a righteous part.
Knowledge
One thing that can get in the way of your spiritual leadership is not knowing enough about your religion. And that doesn�t mean completing the bible or Quran; it also means constantly reading up on teachings of different prophets. Reading religious books, watching religious shows will also help in educating you on things that will make you a good religious leader. It�s possible that you were asked some questions, and you didn�t know the answer, which in turn questioned your leadership. There�s nothing wrong with not having the answers to everything, but you should always strive to know most things.
Patience
As a spiritual leader in a relationship, it means you�ll be doing a lot of educating. Being a leader means having to teach and guide your follower down a righteous path. Patience comes in during the educating. Your partner may be ignorant of many bad things they do that are against the teachings of God. Teaching and educating them about the right things to do will take a lot of time, and you will need to be very patient with them. They may also be stubborn about it, but you shouldn�t relent because it will worth it in the end.
Optimism and faith
Nothing can test your standing as a spiritual partner as much as trials and hardships. When you�re going through a rough time in your life or relationship, it is easy to feel like everything is pointless. You may even begin to question God and your faith, which you�ll need to avoid. You should remember, in the face of every problem, that God is always there for you, and things will turn out well. Being optimistic and having faith will also strengthen your partner�s faith in God instead of when you�re panicking. If you�re panicking and pessimistic, your partner will also panic and be troubled.
The responsibilities that come with being a spiritual leader in a relationship may feel like they�re choking you, but you should remember why you�re doing it. Leading you and your partner down a righteous path will benefit your relationship and lives at the end of the day. A strong relationship with God helps you in your daily activities, helps with all facets of problems; it just makes life all the more beautiful. Remember these tips, and you�ll be a leader your partner can depend on spiritually and in other ways.
