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.
