“Strong relationships must precede difficult issues. Ideally, build up the “reserve” of trust and relationship so they are strong when issues arise—helping the prevailing attitude to be one of respect, intimacy, and genuine love. Build relationships deliberately through relationship-building activities:
- Transparent sharing of prayer needs
- Sharing personal life experiences
- Sacrificing for one another
- Asking for help
- Encouraging mutual accountability
- Modeling peacemaking with one another
~Ken Sande, PeaceMaker Ministries
