To Love and To Be Loved: Establishing Healthy Relationships

We were created for relationship.

From the beginning, God’s design has always included healthy connection with Him, with ourselves, and with others. Yet for many people, relationships become a source of frustration, disappointment, conflict, and pain.

Why?

Because healthy relationships are built on more than good intentions. They require healing, understanding, responsibility, and a willingness to embrace God’s design for how we love and how we receive love.

In To Love and To Be Loved, Lisa Schwarz explores the biblical foundations of healthy relationships and reveals why loving others and being loved by others are inseparable parts of God’s plan. When one is missing, relationships become incomplete. When both are established in a healthy way, relationships can flourish as God intended.

Through biblical teaching, practical insight, and personal application, Lisa helps readers identify barriers to healthy connection and discover a path toward greater wholeness in their relationships.

In This Book You’ll Discover:
• God’s design for healthy relationships
• Why loving and being loved are equally important
• How your relationship with God impacts every other relationship
• The role of personal healing in relational health
• Practical principles for building stronger, healthier connections

Whether you are seeking growth in your marriage, family relationships, friendships, or your relationship with God, this book offers biblical wisdom and practical tools to help you establish relationships that are rooted in truth, love, and wholeness.

Healthy relationships don’t begin with changing everyone around you. They begin with allowing God to transform you from the inside out.

Because God’s desire is not simply for you to love… but also to receive the love He designed you to experience.

Study Guide Available
Lisa has also created a companion study guide designed to help readers move beyond understanding biblical principles and begin applying them in their everyday relationships. Through reflection questions, practical exercises, and guided application, readers are encouraged to evaluate their relational patterns, strengthen healthy connections, and implement God’s design for relationships in real and lasting ways.

Whether used individually or in a small group setting, the study guide provides practical tools to help transform biblical truth into healthy relationship habits that can impact every area of life.
