In the “Love Song” series, we have learned some very
important things that can help us be better in handling
relationships.
The following are points we can learn from the series:
1. Godly character is a quality that can be
developed and is important in having good and
healthy relationships.
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and
trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.
And endurance develops strength of character, and
character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
Rom. 5:3-4
Why is Godly character so important in a relationship?
Give us examples of godly character. How has godly
character helped you in your relationships?
3.
The root cause of conflicts in relationships are
unmet expectations and self-centeredness.
What is causing the quarrels and fights among you?
Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you?
You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill
to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you
can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away
from them.
James 4:1-2
What is self-centeredness? Why does it cause conflicts
in relationships? What conflicts did you experience
because of your being self-centered? What can you do
better to be less self-centered? Give us examples of
“unmet” expectations. What can you do to resolve this
kind of conflict?

2. “God-honoring” sex is pure and holy.
So God created human beings in his own image. In the
image of God he created them; male and female he
created them. Then God blessed them and said, “Be
fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it.
Gen. 1:27-28
One of the first blessings that God gave to man is sex.
Since He invented sex, He has the right to define it. Sex
is one of the most beautiful thing God created, that
when done in the context of marriage becomes a
blessing. However, when practiced outside of marriage,
becomes a great curse. How can sex be a blessing?
How can it become a curse? Why is that?
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those
who love it will eat its fruit.
Prov. 18:21
Read James 3:3-6. Words are so powerful, they can
make or break a person. They have the power to
encourage or tear down a person. Are you an
encourager? Do you uplift the spirit of a person by the
words that come out of your mouth? In what ways can
you use the power of the tongue to edify someone?
How can you develop a habit of doing this? Give us
examples of word that can destroy?
