Oftentimes I found that when I was on a particular topic, God will reveal other teachings on the same topic to me via the other blogs that I visit regularly. And it's the same for some of the brothers and sisters who visit my blog. We are all encouraged and strengthened through one another's blog posts regularly. Indeed, God is working amazing things through us! You are so right about that triangular relationship, Sidharth, as you pointed out saying "When God is the highest priority in our lives, when He fills us, our horizontal relationships become intimate with true intimacy and unconditional love." I find that to be so true and have experienced it first-hand. Shabbat Shalom, brother. Dear Sidharth,

I had written an article on a revelation I received of how we could be stable in relationships. The Lord spoke to me from the same passage you quoted. As Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. For any relationship to be stable there has to be three persons involved. I consider it as a triangle... God on the top vertex, and those in the relationship on the other two vertices. The higher the top vertex goes, the closer the other two vertices become.

I don't claim to be a marriage counselor, but I have always believed that a strong and loving Christian marriage is not a given, it has to be worked at. Besides, you cannot and shouldn't go for perfection because we aren't. :-) God bless, and Shalom Aleichem. Fartboy:

I totally agree with you that wives and husbands are actually on equal footing instead of the wrong interpretation of a wife's submission that some might give. One of the pictures that was ingrained in me when I was a young Christian and attending a youth talk on dating and marriage was this -- that when Adam and Eve stood before God after the latter was first presented to Adam, she stood _beside_ Adam and not behind nor in front. I guess the picture got so ingrained that I have always seen a Christian marriage to be thus. God bless, and Shalom Aleichem. Dear Mike:
