Cords of Love
All of us are in a relationship of some kind and we usually want it to work, no matter what kind it is:
A friendship
A business partnership
A family relationship or marriage
A political relationship
Even a spiritual fellowship
Every relationship needs certain elements in order to succeed and flourish. I call these elements the cords of love
based on Solomon's proverb where he says that, a cord of three strands is not easily broken
(Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).
In my view, there are five cords of love that keep relationships together and these are described in the book of Ruth.
The book of Ruth is a wonderful story describing the love and devotion of a young woman who becomes a widow and takes care of her mother-in-law (who is also widowed) at great cost to herself. In this short book we see the five cords of love that help bind two people together
