In his great prophecy on “the conclusion of the system of things,” Jesus accurately foretold the conditions and trends of our day.

( Song of Solomon 8:4) However, by applying the Bible’s guidance, we will increase our opportunities of cultivating loving relationships with others, even though this may take time and effort. Some people will not warm to us, no matter how hard we try. Will the Bible enable us to have a good relationship with everyone?

Its Author is both peerless in wisdom and matchless in love. Though it was written long ago, its counsel is never outdated. Moreover, it discusses the subject truthfully, without making wild claims and unrealistic promises.

There is, however, one source of advice that when applied never fails. Then, when the guidance turns out to be flawed, as it often does, they pay emotionally when things don’t work out as expected.

The topic of love also sells books and magazines, some of which make extravagant promises. You might be told that you will discover “fascinating and incredible secrets” and will learn from “professional matchmakers,” “relationship experts,” and “love doctors,” not to mention psychotherapists, psychologists, and astrologers. ON THE Internet numerous Web sites claim to offer enlightenment on how to find love. Talk shows on television often consider the subject. Therapists and counselors offer guidance. There is no shortage of advice on romantic love.
