"Can we Fix Broken Relationships?"


If we are going to fix a broken or wounded relationship we are going to have to have Christ-centered, and God-focused solutions. You can try some of the more popular psychological theories, and most likely you will find them wanting. The reason for that is that they fail to address the deepest need in our lives. Christ. If it is true in Philippians 4:13 that, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me," then it is also true that "without me ye can do nothing." Jesus Christ is not an add-on in relationships. He is the relationship. Our goal ought to be, to bring Christ to his rightful place, the center of the relationship.

It doesn't matter if it's your marriage that's failing, your relationship with your parents, your children, your siblings, whoever it may be. Christ must be at the center. If He is not, then expect problems in that relationship. This is not about theories, it's about facts - Christ at the center works every time. Yes, every time. For those of you who are doubting this, I dare you to try it. Place Christ at the center, focus on what you should be doing in the relationship, and do it. Can a broken relationship be fixed? Yes, with Christ in the center, the answer is always yes!
