True or False: Solid relationships are the relationships that are held together by an external force, mainly God.

Very well, put, Krissy.  I agree with everything you said here.  If you have a belief in a God who is the foundation of everything in your life, the God is also the foundation of your relationships too.  That kind of belief in God does not exclude him from anything in your life.  That's the problem with most religion - it instructs you to go thru a ritual or worship God on Sundays, but then put him back into his little box til next Sunday. I also think that when you hit a rough patch in a relationship, turning to your faith can help you get thru.  There's a really great prayer - Dear God, thank you for the grace and strength you give me each day to keep me from strangling my spouse.....lol 

Diana, God IS the duct tape of the universe, remember? 

 Hello everyone;;-))

I agree with you  guys, I do belive in God but i dont go to church every sunday but i try to live my life the right and best way i can, but i think a relationship is first love and mostly COMMITMENT.  And agree with Ruth on praying to give you the strenghth !lol And a big must is compromise which is one of my weaker points,lol but i try,,lol  Good Post Diana;-)

Inspired lately, I am writing a play about love in old age....where  passions of early years have transformed into an acceptance and tenderness between two lovers. There is an understanding of love,  truly a confluence of hearts..an often silent gesture, wordless....

No outside glue will hold this love...only a quiet, peaceful knowledge.

I've seen religion destroy many relationships/marriages.

My personal opinion is that when people are doing everything right, making all the right decisions and then all of a sudden they screw up, they say, "It's God's will."

Uh...excuse me? YOU just screwed up, it was YOUR fault.

Our relationship is built on trust, love, and respect. Just like the "fire triangle," you remove just one of them and it's finished.

I knew you'd remember, Diana.
