Keep Your Love On: ConnectionSýnishorn

One of the marks of powerful people is that they proactively establish practices and build relationships that help to renew the vision of their identity and calling and remind them of who they are. When two people establish a vision in their relationship, they share the knowledge of one another’s identity and calling as well as their joint vision. They remind each other of these things on a regular basis. So when difficulty, pain, and loss come up, the pillar of vision strengthens the relational connection and protects it from being thrown into survival mode.
