Relationships today often face many trials. With societal pressures, changing norms, and varying beliefs, it can be hard to build a relationship that lasts. But for those who seek relationships grounded in faith, there is hope for something deeper, more meaningful, and lasting.
At Singles Alert Network, we believe that a relationship rooted in faith is the cornerstone of a successful and godly marriage. By prioritizing your spiritual connection with God through Jesus Christ, you lay a foundation that can weather any storm life throws your way. Let’s explore why faith is essential to your relationship and how you can build this foundation with intention.
The Importance of Faith in Relationships
When Emily and John first met, they quickly bonded over their shared Christian beliefs. However, as their relationship progressed, they noticed they weren’t always aligning in their spiritual growth. They began to wonder: Is faith just a part of our relationship, or should it be the foundation?
At Singles Alert Network, we help couples like Emily and John navigate these questions. A faith-based relationship through Jesus Christ goes beyond just attending church together or praying occasionally. It involves a shared commitment to spiritual growth, mutual respect, and making Jesus the center of every decision. As Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” When God is that third strand in your relationship, it becomes unbreakable.
How to Build a Relationship Rooted in Faith
At Singles Alert Network, we guide singles and couples through practical steps to build a relationship rooted in faith, preparing for a marriage that honours God. Here’s how we help:
- Shared Spiritual Practices
A relationship founded on Christ begins with shared spiritual practices like prayer, Bible study, living a holy life, and worship. We encourage couples to grow together spiritually through our seminars and counseling sessions. Ephesians 5:21 reminds us to “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” By growing together spiritually, couples can keep God at the center of their relationship. - Trusting God’s Plan for Your Relationship
In a faith-based relationship, trust extends beyond your partner—it also involves trusting God’s plan for your journey together. At Singles Alert Network, we teach singles and couples to lean on God’s guidance, knowing that His plan for their relationship is far greater than anything they could imagine. As Proverbs 3:5-6 instructs, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” - Communicating with Love and Patience
Relationships grounded in faith require effective, loving communication. At Singles Alert Network, we emphasize the importance of speaking with love and listening with patience. We offer counseling services to help couples develop healthy communication habits. Colossians 3:14 says, “And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” In a faith-based relationship, love and understanding become the foundation of every conversation.
Real-Life Conflict and Faith: A Story of Growth
Michael and Lisa, both in their early thirties, had been in courtship for two years. Though they both attended church, they realized their spiritual journeys weren’t progressing at the same pace. When conflicts arose, they found themselves drifting apart instead of turning to God and each other for support.
Through Singles Alert Network’s one-on-one counseling, many of our beneficiaries have learnt how to re-center their relationship around faith in Christ. They discovered that conflict resolution wasn’t just about finding common ground but also about seeking God’s wisdom together. Now, they pray together before making decisions and use their faith in Christ Jesus as the foundation for their communication.
James 1:19 says, “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” With these teachings and support from Singles Alert Network, a lot of our beneficiaries were able to restore the unity and love in their relationship by trusting in God’s plan.
Why Faith is the Key to a Lasting Relationship
At Singles Alert Network, we believe that faith in Jesus Christ is not just a part of your relationship—it is the foundation upon which lasting love is built. By aligning your relationship with God’s will, you can experience the true joy of a partnership that is both spiritually and emotionally fulfilling.
Whether you’re a single seeking a faith-based relationship or a couple wanting to strengthen your spiritual bond, our resources, including seminars, counseling, and community support groups, will help guide you on this path.
Take the first step: Explore our upcoming seminars, book a one-on-one counseling session, or join our community support to meet other like-minded individuals on the same journey. You’ll learn how to build a relationship that stands the test of time by rooting it in faith through Jesus Christ.
As 1 Corinthians 13:13 reminds us, “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” When love is grounded in faith, it can lead to a marriage that not only lasts but thrives.
