I thought this devotion on the topic of intimate interpersonal relationships was appropriate to this week’s reading. It demonstrates many of the qualities that the book gives for developing a strong dyadic interpersonal relationship:
- Initiation in the exhortation to “plant a tree” if you have not yet done so.
- Experimentation and intensification in the growth and nurturing of that tree to help it grow roots.
- Integration in the allowance of that other person to give reproof and to follow it
- Bonding in the overall strength of the relationship with that “tree”
If you have a strong Christian friend such as this, consider yourself very blessed to have that resource at your disposal when you need them.
