Topic: How Relationships Help Us

We take relationships with others for granted. What we also do is take the value of relationships for granted. Each of us is born as a social being. We are made by God to build and sustain relationships with others. People need people. You need others and others need you. People need people to such an extent most of our inner life depends upon our social skills and our relationships with others. Our ability to keep loneliness from eating away at our soul depends upon our ability to build and keep healthy relationships with others. Relationships help us by keeping us alive. For example, people with cancer who have more social ties live longer than people who do not have healthy relationships. In sum, healthy social contact is a healing force in our life.
