Relationship Goals

Michael Todd

Before humanity existed, the relationship between God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—known as the Holy Trinity—served as the foundation for creation. This eternal bond, beyond human comprehension, reflects why humans naturally seek a connection with God. A relationship with God is essential for building healthy relationships with others, as illustrated by the story of Doug, whose life unraveled when he neglected his faith. The author highlights how the church often fails to provide practical guidance on relationships, leaving many to rely on flawed societal standards. God’s design for relationships begins with singleness, a crucial phase for self-discovery and alignment with His purpose. Intentionality is key, whether in dating, marriage, or evaluating relationships as assets or liabilities. Examples like Taylor and Brandon’s structured dating approach and the lessons from T and Valeria’s failed relationship emphasize the importance of prioritizing God above all else. Even in marriage, continuous effort and mutual support are necessary to sustain a thriving bond. The author’s own journey with Natalie underscores the value of purposeful dating, avoiding distractions, and choosing a partner aligned with God’s plan for a meaningful, lifelong union.
