Any relationship with a narcissist can be difficult. Yet, by setting good boundaries, creating healthy relationships with others, cultivating your relationship with God, and walking in step with the Spirit, you can learn to live within the confines of that relationship. However, if, after several conversations, that person is not willing to change their ways, it may be time to terminate their relationship. God never wants us in destructive or emotionally abusive relationships.

Singleness can stir quiet doubts you rarely say out loud. Let God’s Word answer them with truths that anchor your heart in His unchanging love.

Jesus Himself modeled the single, focused, missional life. Are we living our single life on purpose? Or are we merely enduring the days until God may change our marital status?

Sometimes friendships end because you've hurt each other. These wounds can go deep, yet God calls us to live above reproach. This means we give up our right to get in the last word, justify our bad behavior, or get revenge. We have to allow God to be the one who makes things right for us.
