How Important Is Building Healthy Relationships?
Building healthy relationships is a noble task that requires selflessness and sincerity. As I mentioned earlier, it works best when we prioritize the other person’s needs above ours, treating them as if they are more important than ourselves. The genuineness of our actions speaks louder than words, and people can always tell when we are not authentic.
Whether in dating relationships or friendships with acquaintances or close friends, putting others first is key to building strong bonds that last long. While women seem to have an advantage in communication skills, men too can share genuinely with a little effort. In any case, building healthy relationships should always be viewed as a team effort where both parties give and take equally. So go ahead and put your best foot forward; start by prioritizing the needs of those around you today!

NeedEncouragement.com started in 2007 after experiencing a painful divorce I did not want. My ex-wife and I were given wise marriage counseling by Pastor Ron Sauer and his wife, Sue. Ron is a professor of Greek at the Moody Bible Institute, and his wife, Sue Sauer, is a dedicated women’s counselor for Moody college students.
I hope my website can encourage you with all the information and lessons I have experienced to avoid the problems I have experienced, such as divorce, depression, anxiety, addiction, etc.
Most importantly, they pointed me to Jesus and His word from the Bible. I discovered that it is inevitable to avoid conflict in our lives altogether. Still, we can find solutions to learn from our mistakes and avoid some unnecessary heartaches and pain in the future.
