The 7 deadly sins of Relationships

I often refer to them as Relationsins, they are based on what is culturally known as the 7 deadly sins which are:

1. Pride (Vanity)
2. Gluttony
3. Greed (Avarice)
4. Sloth
5. Envy
6. Wrath
7. Lust

Those "deadly sins" have often been attributed to personal character; however they can also be easily attributed to romantic relationships in which they are actually more deadly.

Based on Proverbs 6:16-24, and reiterated in the book of Galatians, the 7 deadly sins took a life of their own in the catholic church in an attempt to better regulate the believers behaviors.

Whether God views those deadly sins the same way the church did is a totally different story; however what is certain is the negative impact they bring to the life of a christian, and non christian as well.

The difference in this case is to attribute them to relationships, because the character of a man defines the leadership he will provide for his future family.

Although they are rarely called in the terms used with 7 deadly sins, certain attitude are often attributed to them: "He is shallow", "she is so materialistic" "He's a player", "what a gold digger!"

When all is said, our 7 deadly relationsins prevents us from reaching that God given objective...I just wonder how many of them I have committed.

Supported by the beautiful artwork of Martha Dahlig, upcoming are the 7 deadly sins of relationships.

It is not good for man to be alone....

It is not good for man to be alone some said and read,
you need the stability and companionship they added;
but you lose the freedom and peace of mind, they failed to say.
It is not stability, it is a man-made prison
It is not companionship, but a lifelong burden,
constant nagging, spying and attempted control...

No man is an island they reminded me,
No man is a continent either I replied...

But on a dreadful night, I heard a terrible news,
I had no need to cry, I wouldn't comfort myself...

In a mundane afternoon, I was dealt with injustice
I couldn't avoid revenge, I had nothing to lose

In a dark alley, I was swayed in an illicit passion,
I did not know how to fight temptation, I had no Honor to protect

I a moment of a panic, I claimed what wasn't mine,
I shouldn't hesitate, I have no example to set...

To stand on one's two feet with honor, dignity and principle is no different than to stand with dishonor and unscrupulous behavior when you are both the judge, jury, victim and victor.

It is not good for man to be alone; when a man is alone, he loses his sense of purpose, his ability to share and communicate erodes him. When a man is alone, he trust nobody and prey on everybody, he extends and reduces his boundaries, and forget the diet that strenghten his soul. When a man is alone, he has no foundation, but the wind he rides tho and fro.

A self-destruction machine that contaminates all on his path, he searches for those to protect, build and share life with.

No, it is not good for man to be alone...a man alone is nothing else but God's child abandoned to himself...and a child abandoned to himself is not a good sight.

It is not good for man to be alone, because a man alone loses his accountability to sin...
