Do your relationships strengthen your faith, or does your faith strenghen your relationships?

Or, neither? Or, both?

Dang...I'd have to say some of your questions are getting deeper and better (and harder to answer lol).

It can go so many ways.....

My faith is an individual thing. I do not recall my romantic relationships either strengthening my faith, nor my faith strengthening my romantic relationships. It is desirable to be with someone who shares similar, or at least compatible, beliefs, but I have not found that relationships affect my faith at all - other than leading to some interesting discussions or participating in faith-based activities.

I've found both to be true. I have both Christian and non Christian friends and I definitely feel like there is something missing in the my relationships with non Christian friends. I don't think everyone experiences this, but my faith, my relationship with God is the one that I see as most important in my life, so being able to talk with someone about spiritual things is an added dimension that is lacking with anyone who is uninterested in spiritual things or just doesn't see them as being a very important part of their life.

My faith strengthens my human relationships with people around me. But nothing romantic though...when you try to treat everyone like a brother or sister, you pay a price on the solitude part.

Good day,

My faith strengthens my relationships.
Romantic relationships don't strengthen my faith if they are not of the same faith. However non-romantic relationships with people sharing my faith strengthen my faith.

as I think about it is the people who are in the relationship that strathen my faith. People who are of the same faith reinforce me and help keep me on track, adding different points of views and ect. thoes who disagree with me challenge my thinking and I grow. But sone times they deive me nuts.
