The Bible is full of lessons; one of the many lessons Life is about relationships. Most people know the story of Samson and Delilah. We will gather a lot of relationship lessons of the story of Samson and Delilah.
A relationship will not grow if it was based on lust; Lust is not love.
Samson lusted after Delilah causing him to step out of God’s will for his life. Lustful desire blurs our vision to distinguish true love. Samson and Delilah were not truly love and this led to Delilah betrayed Samson for 5500 silver.
Relationship based on physical attraction will not last long. Physical characteristics should not be used as the foundation of the relationship.
While you may initially be drawn or attracted to the physical attributes of the individual, you still have to look into a person’s character (the heart) before getting serious relationship. Beauty fades with time and age; When this happens, the relationship will tumble if it was built entirely of physical attraction. Good looking Delilah is access desire Samson. What started as something beautiful into something ugly because the relationship was built on the surface. It was built only through physical attraction.
A relationship that started on the wrong foot will taint your faith, it will lead you astray.
Delilah asked the secret of Samson’s strength. While Samson that this was used against him, he still clear his secret to Delilah. Samson failed to see beyond deception Delilah’s. Their relationship started off on the wrong foot; thus, it did not grow in real love, deception and greed.
Nexus is without issue; when problems arise, learn to listen to good advice. Even before us, we must learn to consult with our parents and those close to us.
Parents Samson warned him against pursuing both Philistine woman Delilah and, because his parents know that these women are not just partners for him. But Samson did not listen. When relationship problems, we must ask those in authority for advice. If we reject wisdom, we must be prepared for the consequences. Because of bad choices relationship Samson, Samson lost his sight and his strength.
A successful relationship requires maturity, self-discipline and self-control.
Samson appeared immaturity. He forced his parents to get him a woman he wanted. He did not grow emotionally and spiritually. He forced his way and rely on his strength in order to see the hand of his strength. He had no discipline and self-control. He lived a life of drunkenness and indulged in fleshy pleasures. Without maturity, self-discipline and self-control, the relationship will not flourish because the people involved will not be able to solve problems that come their way. They will always want their way, they will be selfish and controlling. They do not have the maturity to understand the issues they face. They will act and respond to connectivity issues in a way that will only cause the matter to escalate rather than solve it. They will shout and swear at one another, to hurt each other emotionally and even physically.
Relationships do not just happen in the new millennium; it has been from the beginning of time. Learn the stories of the past to help you build a successful relationship.
