Christian Relationships: Building a God-Centered Love
Relationships are a beautiful part of life, and as Christian women, we desire connections that honor God and reflect His love. Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or married, the foundation of a strong and fulfilling relationship is Christ and finding our own identity in Him. With Him He will help us build a God centered relationship. In a world that often promotes self-centered love, God calls us to a different standard—one built on faith, selflessness, and commitment to His Word. This could even be with friendships because even with friends you want Godly people to be around.

Putting God First
Matthew 6:33 reminds us, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” The most important relationship we can have is with God. Before pursuing a romantic relationship, we must first cultivate a strong relationship with Him. A love that honors God begins with two individuals who are individually rooted in Christ and He will help us build a God centered relationship.
What Does a Godly Relationship Look Like?
- Christ at the Center
A relationship that pleases God is one where both individuals seek to glorify Him in their actions, decisions, and interactions with one another. Praying together, studying the Word, and encouraging spiritual growth should be a priority. - Biblical Love and Respect
Ephesians 5:25 says, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” Godly love is selfless, sacrificial, and patient. Both partners should respect and uplift each other, always striving to mirror Christ’s love. - Purity and Boundaries
In a world that normalizes casual relationships, we are called to pursue purity. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 states, “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable.” Setting healthy boundaries protects your heart, mind, and body, keeping the relationship focused on honoring God. - Healthy Communication
Proverbs 15:1 teaches, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Effective communication is key in any relationship. Speak with kindness, listen with understanding, and address conflicts with grace and patience. - A Shared Purpose
Amos 3:3 asks, “Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?” A strong Christian relationship involves a shared vision for serving God. When both partners align their lives with His purpose, they grow stronger together.
Preparing for a Godly Relationship
If you are single and waiting on God, this season is not a time of idleness—it is a time to grow, serve, and become the woman God created you to be. You have to find your identity in Christ first before you can truly have the godly relationship you desire. Focus on deepening your faith, discovering your calling, and trusting in God’s perfect timing. He knows your heart’s desires and will provide in His way and in His time.
Final Encouragement
Christian relationships are meant to be a reflection of God’s love, grace, and faithfulness. Whether you are in a relationship or waiting for one, always remember that your worth is found in Christ alone. A godly relationship is not about perfection but about two imperfect people pursuing Christ together.
Trust in God’s plan, embrace His timing, and continue to grow in His love. He is the ultimate author of your love story! Nothing is impossible with God we just have to trust and have faith, and He will help us build a God centered relationship.
