Brain Science Relational Circuits

Could Your Brain Be Sabotaging Your Close Relationships Without You Realizing?

Nov 16, 2023

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." Jesus understood that loving relationships are key to human flourishing. Researchers are now discovering that this love rewires our brain and helps us live better.


Specifically, we all have relational circuits that, when active, allow us to connect deeply, avoid conflict, share joy, and make wise decisions.


The Bible shows Jesus tuning into his friends and the crowd’s emotional needs connecting compassionately with them. Paul urging Christians to "be devoted to one another in love." God designed us for extraordinary bonds!


Yet overload our brains and our relational circuits close down like a drained iPhone battery.

  • Negativity replaces joy.
  • Reactions flare up.
  • Even close ties strain.

I once thought healthy relationships were as predictable as the English weather. What I didn't realize was that success is already implanted if we understand it.


Not Convinced? Consider the benefits of switching on you relational circuits:
· Deeper Connections
· Greater Joy
· Peace At Home
· Wiser Choices
· Becoming Your Best Self
· Resilience and Growth
· Deeper Prayer Life


The payoff is simple. Rather than seeking an elusive perfect person, the key is learning to relate skilfully together. God built the equipment for uplifting bonds into each of us already. So why settle for mediocre when your brain predicts relationship greatness?
