CHRISTIAN RELATIONSHIP – friendship versus fighting

Relationships are the essence of human life and Christian relationships were created by God to enjoy fellowship with each other whether it be as a couple, your friends, your family, neighbours and colleagues. Some people believe that their relationship with God is the starting point to getting a relationships right. With this in mind, the Christian marriage begins with counseling, in which the pastor verses couples in the traditions of marriage and in the importance of their vows, and Christians believe that this serves as a good basis for a marriage.

One of the reasons God created marriage was to meet human needs for food, shelter, love, intimacy, faithfulness and unity. When you enter into a Christian relationship and are contemplating marriage, you have to decide if you are going to commit to honoring God through your marriage; are you going to do it God's way, or by not doing so, have your relationship thrown into chaos?

Some people, due to different circumstances, find it difficult to form any kind of relationship with people, and suffer from feelings of loneliness and rejection. The Apostle Paul shares some instructions in the Bible in his letter to the Philippians 4:11-13 ....for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstance I am ...I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. If Christian singles find that Christian relationships are evading them, they should seek the counsel of a Pastor and find a solid Bible-based church that has an active Singles ministry.

Probe too deeply into the personal life of humans and you will find that most have been disappointed by some Christian relationships.
