What does the Bible say about relationships?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that relationships can be difficult due to the effects of sin, which brings selfishness and conflict.

The Bible acknowledges that relationships are often fraught with challenges, especially due to the entrance of sin into the world. In Genesis, we see that before the fall, Adam had an intimate relationship with God, which was broken due to sin. This has had profound consequences on human relationships ever since, as seen when Adam blamed Eve for his sin (Genesis 3:12). Thus, relationships can become marred by selfishness and misunderstanding, leading to discord and conflict among individuals, even within the family structure (Ephesians 5:25-33). It is essential, therefore, for Christians to recognize the impact of sin on relationships and strive to love one another as commanded by Christ.
