Part 1: Qualities of a Healthy Relationship

Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.



Three Qualities of Healthy Relationships

1. Enduring Love

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NLT) – Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.



Ephesians 4:2 (NLT) – Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.

2. Effective Communication


Ephesians 4:29 (NLT) – Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

3. Enriching Experiences


Experiences enrich the relationship, and the relationship enriches the experience.


Relationships – Experiences = Lifelessness
Experiences – Relationships = Loneliness

Proverbs 27:17 (NLT) – As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.


Proverbs 13:20 (NLT) – Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.
