first KEY POINT
Follow the Bible for a perfect relationship
Growing up, most people think of relationships as nothing more than sex and casual talk. The way many people think about relationships is broken, and the high rate of divorce and breakups does not help matters in the slightest. Compared to decades ago, not as many people go into marriage considering it to be the only relationship they’ll ever have. This is as prevalent inside the church as outside. It is no wonder why many people think building a healthy relationship cannot be achieved.In reality, it is entirely possible. You just need to know who to listen to and look up to. God, our creator, is the One. He has spoken His word through the Bible; all you need to do is listen. It’s time to start uncovering false notions by pitting God’s words against the challenges of life and using the truth to figure out how to live with people.
Applying biblical principles will give renewed hope for your relationship.
No matter what your current status is, you can transform your relationships. Allowing the Bible to guide you will convert your heart to the right place, minimize your pain, and allow you to reap the benefits of a healthy relationship.This summary will show you how to build effective connections to give you the best shot at a union that goes the distance.

Although it is impossible to have your whole life figured out from the onset, when it comes to relationships, you need to know your aim before venturing into one.Even if you have targets or markers for success in your relationship, you need to reexamine them to ensure they are the right ones. If you don't, another person may start deciding for you, and it’s akin to a stranger leading you in an unknown direction.How do you know if your goals are the right ones for you?• Your relationship goals must contribute to the life you are currently living.
• Whatever relationship goals you set must create meaning in your life.
