God wants you to have happy relationships


Here are some Bible verses about your relationships.

CHILDREN, OBEY your parents in the Lord [as His representatives], for this is just and right. Honor (esteem and value as precious) your father and your mother—this is the first commandment with a promise. That all may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth.
Ephesians 6:1-3


But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
1 Timothy 5:8


Submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Ephesians 5:21


Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127:3-5


In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 7:12


"He blesses the home of the righteous."
Prov. 3:33


"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
Ecc. 4:12


"May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other…"
1Thess. 3:12


The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
1 Corinthians 7:3-5
