RELATIONSHIP ADVICE strengthens the bonds of union
When they are offended, many Christians think that this justifies being angry back or accusatory, but God tells us not to return evil for evil or insult for insult, but give a blessing instead! Extremely difficult to live by, but relationship advice is given to Christians for good reason - Satan encourages jealousy, competition, and uncharitable judgments, keeping you from feeling close and connected to others.
We have many relationships - we have social relationships; we mix and mingle with others; we have civil relationships where we are obligated to recognize the laws of the land; we have family relationships between husband and wife, parents and children - all of these relationships carry with them certain responsibilities and obligations.
Leaving the home and family environment, living with roommates, establishing the relational habits for eventually marrying and building a family of your own are challenges that become very real. With relationship advice, the Bible should be your ultimate guide. Good Christian reading material offering sound relationship advice, attending seminars or attending relationship ministries provided by the church can guide you to establishing lasting marital unions.
In an age where divorce is rampant, you need to follow biblical principles; learn the secrets to a happy marriage. Humility and understanding are just some of the secrets that build strong relationships.
What is your relationship with the Lord? Your answer will determine your relationship with others. When we judge uncharitably and attempt to prescribe solutions for other people’s lives, we run the risk of speaking counter to the Lord’s will for that person.
