What keys do you have in your pocket?

Get your keys out of your pursue or pocket.

What do you notice?

There is key to the car, house, and workplace and for some, the keys are multiplied by two or three because we pride ourselves in consuming and protecting.

All of these keys have a purpose.

The phrase the "key to success" is common in our vernacular. Meaning you have a tool (your key) and using this tool will open up the doors of possibility and success.

What if we turned this around within the context of relationships? Most of us don't need more tools of communication, or the how to of "this and that." We may need to focus on the key that is working and use that key more often.

Let me explain. To often relationships start to experience disappointments because we stop using the keys that have worked to have a healthy functioning relationship. We do not need another marriage book, parenting book, or self help book (at least for a season in life). Possibly what we need is to discover times when we had success in our marriage and relationships and start reusing those keys. Maybe you need help finding those keys to your relationships. Here is one question to get you started.

• What is working right now within your relationships (parent, marriage, friend, etc) that you would like to continue?
