Relationship Killers
1.Fault finding.
We often focus on the faults of others while ignoring our own shortcomings. We all seem to have a great aptitude for identifying the faults of others. We know no one is perfect and we all have our weaknesses. The real issue with fault finding in a relationship is the underlying goal of trying to change a person. Fault finding is the drive to change a person and that will always result in relationship problems.Fault finding will strain relationships and eventually kill them.
Love does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV
1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV
Faults are like the headlights of a car; those of others seem more glaring than your own.
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye”—Matthew 7:1-5
