The most important part of a building is its foundation. If the foundation is solid, the building will stand. The same can be said about relationships. Relationships will stand up in difficult times if they are well founded. In a nutshell, the foundation for building positive relationships is love. Love for God, self and others.
This love for God, self and others is found in the greatest and second greatest commandments.
Matthew 22:36-40
36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?"
37 And He said to him, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.'
38 "This is the great and foremost commandment.
39 "The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'
40 "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."
