Relationship Rant #314

Wouldn't it be nice if relationships could be as tranquil in this photo?

Sadly, that's not the reality in many ongoing relationships these days. There are twists and turns and more intrigue than an episode of Law & Order SVU.

In conversations that I have had with single adults it seems like both parties are seeking one thing when they get into a serious relationship - and that's security. They want to know if they align themselves with this person, that everything's going to be alright.

Unfortunately there is no such thing - at least not by man's standards. Nearly any married couple you talk to will tell you that the picture-perfect relationship they have envisioned has been tarnished by - reality.


The only security that you can get from a relationship is one from God. Point blank. Sometimes Christians often put too much of their faith in the significant other and are disappointed when this person doesn't meet their standards or expectations.

In order to truly obtain that peaceful scene that was depicted above, Christians must have that strong relationship with God, so that they can weather the storms that life and some relationships bring.
