Struggling with broken relationships in your home, business, or friendships? Discover God’s Blueprint for Perfect Relationships—a powerful, faith-based guide to healing broken relationships through biblical principles.
We need to talk about this—because all around us, relationships are breaking down. Homes are divided. Marriages are strained. Lifelong friendships are ending in silence. Business partnerships are collapsing under the weight of pride, betrayal, and mistrust.
Too many of us are trying to build relationships without a blueprint. We’re relying on feelings, assumptions, and broken past experiences instead of the solid foundation God has already provided. No wonder so many of our connections are crumbling.
That’s why we’re starting this journey: Relationship Under Repair. In this series, we’ll uncover what it takes to restore and rebuild broken relationships—not just through good intentions, but through truth, humility, and the power of God’s Word.
And today, in Episode 1: God’s Blueprint for Perfect Relationships, we go back to the beginning. Before we can repair what’s broken, we need to understand what God originally designed. Because if we don’t know the purpose of a thing, we’re bound to misuse it.
Let’s rediscover the Creator’s plan—and find healing where the cracks first began.
God’s Blueprint for Perfect Relationships: The Origin of Relationships
What is a relationship? A relationship is where there is love. Not the kind of shallow connection we see today—where, at the first sign of trouble, we walk away. Not the type where friendship is based on benefit, status, or convenience.
True, Godly relationships are built on unconditional love. And love cannot exist without a relationship.
Christianity itself is a relationship, not a religion. It begins with God and overflows into every area of our lives—our homes, friendships, marriages, and partnerships.
As Christians, we must understand that relationships originate from God. They are not man-made. Our connections with others—friends, family, spouses, coworkers—must remain an integral part of God’s original plan for how people live and love.
Even in the face of adversity—longsuffering, affliction, betrayal—you don’t quit a relationship unless God releases you. If you walk away simply because things got hard, then it wasn’t a biblical relationship to begin with.
TB Joshua taught that we must “stay put” and grow through the situation, because spiritual maturity is developed through obedience—not comfort.
“Spiritual growth is a function of obedience to God, just as physical growth is a function of time, and intellectual growth is a function of learning.”
Establishing a Healthy Relationship
Every relationship that begins with God must be sustained by God. Look at your past. How many partnerships have you walked away from just because of difficulty? And where has that taken you?
You are not the author of relationships. God is. And if you want Him involved, you must carry Him along every step of the way.
If you leave your last relationship because of hatred, that same hatred will follow you into the next one.
If you leave a relationship with bitterness, unforgiveness, and resentment, you will carry that same attitude into your next relationship. And that attitude will sabotage your future.
It is impossible to build a healthy relationship with someone who left their past relationship with unresolved hatred.You may claim to have forgiven your former boss, spouse, or friend—but if you haven’t truly let go and forgotten the offense, it wasn’t real forgiveness.
Forgive. Let go. Forget the wrongs—so that there is hope for the future. Love forgets wrongs so that there is hope for the future.
Released by God—Not by Trouble
Listen to TB Joshua sermon on this truth: “Let God Release You“
You cannot walk away from a relationship unless God releases you. Just because trouble comes, doesn’t mean it’s time to quit.
The very person who hurt you today may be the one God uses tomorrow—as a blessing to your children or as a part of your destiny.
Your imperfection today does not cancel your potential for usefulness tomorrow.
Too many people keep running—from place to place, person to person, job to job. But God sees the bigger picture. The way you leave a relationship is the same way you will enter the next one.
“If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven. If you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” – John 20:23
God’s Blueprint for Perfect Relationships: Stay Put. Don’t Budge
As a Christian, remember this: if you are where God wants you to be, expect opposition. The devil will do everything he can to dislodge or displace you from that place.
Whether it’s your marriage, business, ministry, or friendship—anything close to Jesus attracts attack. That attack is not always a sign to leave; it can be a sign that you are exactly where God wants you.
This is your destiny. Don’t give the devil room to deceive you. When difficulty shows up, remember:
“This must be where God wants me.”
“I ask God to strengthen you so that you can praise Him and not complain. I ask God to strengthen you so that you can press on when it seems all is over.”
