*Things which are responsible for the division of the Sacred Bond*

*1) The importance of the Sacred Bond*

It is God who started the relationship or the sacred bond with the Human being by creating them 

When the bond of sacred in nature it is always for the betterment of the party and attain perfection

Since God is the origin of Sacred Bond, all the sacred bonds are good in nature and they help us to attain salvation

*2) Various Types of Sacred bonds*

First of all the bond which rises between God and Human being. The very fact God created the Human being there a sacred bond between God and Man

Secondly God has put a special bond between Man and Woman while creating itself. This bond gets special significance, in the context of marriage and family. 

Thirdly there also a sacred bond between siblings. They are directly related to each other by blood, therefore this bond is sacred 

The entire World with all the human beings on this earth has a spacial sacred bond, because of the human nature of the Human beings 

There is also a sacred bond between God, Man and Nature. 

*3) Separation of the Sacred Bond by human beings*

It starts with Adam and Eve. They were responsible for breaking the sacred bond between God and human beings 

Cain was responsible for breaking the sacred bond between the siblings 

Lot got drunk and his daughters were responsible to break the sacred bond of marriage and family

All these things happen in the First of the Bible in Genesis. 

Since then the violation of the sacred bonds happen and even today we have these instances everywhere

*4) My Life and Sacred Bond*

First of all there is a sacred bond between God and me

Secondly there is a sacred bond in the family. Either in the form of Husband & wife, parents & Children, sacred bond between the Siblings 

Thirdly there is also a sacred bond of either marriage, religious life or single life. All these forms of life carry with it a sacred bond 

*5) Things cause for the separation of the sacred Bond*

*Hardness of the heart*: which destroys the sacred bond

*Unfaithfulness*: This is a quick weapon of destruction and division of the sacred bond 

*Ego & Unforgiveness*: This can destroy the sacred bind at any time 

*Lack of Adjustment & Arrogance* : This can result is the division of any sacred bond

Lack of Sharing with the other, lack of prayer, always finding fault with the other, lack of compromise etc are other things which are responsible for the division of the sacred bond

*6) The height of the sacredness of the family bond*

Among all other things in the World family comes first 

There is nothing in this world which can substitute the family relationship and family bond

If a person loses the family there is nothing is left to the person in this world 

Finally at the end of the day he/she has to come back to the family. If family itself is not there, then where to go 

One works, toils, makes lots of sacrifice and does every kind of work for the sake of family. Then if the family is not there then all the above things have no meaning 

Life of a person who has no family bond, becomes miserable. 

*7) It is the family and Family sacred bond which is spoken in the Scriptures - Highest times*

This topic comes in every book of the Bible and in every situation. 

This shows the need and necessity of the family bond 

*Therefore if there are 1000 reasons to cause the separation of the sacred bond of family, find out 1 cause which can keep the family together.*

Then the family life will become a happy life

*Think about it*

*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
