The 3 Things That Tear Relationships Apart (and What to Do About Them)

Why do relationships so often fall apart? Maybe you’ve had a friendship suddenly end. Maybe things with family feel tense. Or maybe your marriage feels stuck. Whatever it is, it hurts — and you’re not alone.

In this episode of The Week Ahead Podcast, we look at the three big things that tear relationships apart — and some simple steps you can take toward healing.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• The root of conflict, straight from the book of James
• The 3 main causes that damage relationships: pride, selfishness, and miscommunication
• Practical, everyday steps you can take to rebuild peace
• Why God’s grace is the key to lasting change

The truth is, conflict usually starts inside us before it shows up on the outside. Pride digs in its heels. Selfishness drains the other person. Miscommunication builds walls. But the good news is, none of these have to be the final word.

With God’s help, broken things can be mended. One apology. One act of service. One honest prayer.

So if there’s a relationship on your heart right now, don’t push it aside. Join me in this episode and take one small step toward peace.
