The Triangular Theory of Love (Robert J. Sternberg, is a comprehensive hypothesis of love, rather than only romantic love. We can apply it truly anywhere that love may develop into its own through transactions between individuals that possibly alter them. Let us try this theory in the midst of all ministry. It can be beneficial to hold this premise in mind: just as many pastors might leave the ministry in retirement compared to those who leave disenfranchised; during burnout, resentment or schism, etc.

There are a few that will leave of their own volition - because their calling has shifted, or better supplies and opportunities appear.

Many pastors enjoy their work; the work Christ has called them to. Could it be pastors and ministers either stay in heritage or abandon due to appreciate - a personal adore, via the passion in their hearts to minister and the way they are fulfilled in their heritage, and also an interpersonal love, via the significance derived from their pastoral relationships? . A servant of God is committed. Their devotion to the Lord is beyond question, and what say they'll do, they'll do, so long as it is possible within their capacity to do. Resilience, persistence, and perseverance are values they live.

They are dependable, responsible, ready and able. They are not the sort of who willingly allow people down. They are committed to God, and to love those God places in their course. The key to ministry longevity will be to love - loving the work. When passion for support, trusting intimacy within relationships, and devotion are joined together, a threefold cord is established - a dynamic power for God - that isn't easily broken. 2012 S. J. Wickham.
