A Short self-reflected talk on Toxic relationship by Collins
This story reminds us that toxic relationships often masquerade as love but are rooted in control, deceit, and selfishness.
Tamar’s pain shows the cost of misplaced trust, while Amnon’s downfall shows the consequences of unchecked toxic desire.

Toxic relationships aren’t always obvious. Sometimes they look like care, concern, or even love—but they always leave damage.
Take Amnon and Tamar in 2 Samuel 13. Amnon thought he loved her, but it was all obsession and selfishness. He schemed, lied, and hurt her. Tamar was left broken, Amnon got hated and disgraced, and in the end… his life ended badly.
But Amnon refused to listen to her, and since he was stronger than she, he raped her.” — 2 Samuel 13:14
Even his friend Jonadab encouraged it instead of stopping him. Toxic influence doesn’t always come from enemies:it can come from friends.
Now Jonadab was a very shrewd man. 2 Samuel 13:3
Years later, Tamar’s brother Absalom took revenge. Pain spreads, and toxic relationships rarely stop with one person.
Strike Amnon down, then kill him. 2 Samuel 13:28
Now compare that with David and Jonathan. Jonathan loved David as his own soul. He protected him, spoke truth, and even gave up his own position for David’s sake.
Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself. 1 Samuel 18:3
Toxic relationships hurt, confuse, and destroy. Healthy ones build, protect, and bring life. Who you let close to you shapes your heart, your life, and your mind. Guard your peace. Honor your boundaries. Stick with people who lift, not drag you down.
TOXIC RELATIONSHIP RUNDOWN by Fustrr
(I’m not going to sound to professional in mine)
Toxic relationships, what are they, is it when a father beats wife, or them a girl purposely leads on a friend who she knows likes her, but has no interest, YES, but it is also more than that
From our scripture, it seems to follow the same pattern, abusive person, lack of consent, but there is also a deeper story here, a lack of love
After Amnon had defiled her, he openly stated that he hated her, there was no real love there, love is an unconditional element, therefore to love someone for something is not love at all, after all, what reason did Jesus have to love us.
The lesson here is any relationship where the bond is built off of what can be gained, is not a relationship built on real love, it have become so normalize in our world that most people word call what I just defined business,
in proper sense, business isn’t toxic, you don’t do it to make friends, but when the relationship IS FOR PERSONAL BONDING, and built off of what one can provide, I would full heartedly say that it is an unhealthy relationship
God bless my friends
TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS IN A GRASP by Dorcas
Toxic relationships are rampant in our time. They often cause us to mistake:
Lust for love
Controlling behavior for being considerate
Obsession for being protective or jealous
Temporary happiness for true joy
These unhealthy relationships are not limited to romantic relationships or marriage. They can also be found in friendships, workplace relationships, and sometimes even within families and guardianship.
In 2 Samuel 13, Amnon mistook the strong desire (lust) he had for his sister as love. Just as the pleasures of sin are only for a moment, so also are lustful desires. They fade quickly but leave lasting damage.
Toxic relationships do not only exist between two people. A person can also have a toxic relationship with themselves. This happens when we confuse:
Pride with boldness
Selfishness with self-love
Arrogance with confidence
And the list goes on.
Toxic relationships often leave people emotionally wounded, devastated, and what many call “heartbroken.”
When we are unsure whether we are in a toxic relationship, we should always remember this scripture:
1 Corinthians 13:4–7 (NIV):
*"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres"
May the Lord God preserve us from any form of toxic relationship. Amen!
From Goals to Growth: The Mindset Shift for Sustainable Success by Kay Daniela
TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS by Ibidolaoluwa
What are relationships? They can be defined as the act of relating to another person or subject. Consciously or unconsciously, we form relationships with people and things everyday of our lives.
Looking at today's bible guide, we see the story of Tamar and Amnon. An apt reference for the topic in discussion.
This story depicts the lust that Amnon had for his sister. But how does it count as a toxic relationship? Not considering the immoral nature of the relationship, the fact that Tamar herself was against the relationship shows its abusive characteristics.
Secondly, Amnon did not respect her opinion and thought only about what he could gain from his sister. There was nothing beneficial about it to Tamar and she even ended suffering a considerable loss. If these aren't signs of an unhealthy relationship then I don't know what is.
But do toxic relationships only refer to couples that are together? Definitely not.
It may be between colleagues, parents and children and even among course mates.
Relationships don't become toxic when fists are thrown or bottles are broken. It starts with little things like insults, constantly undermining the other person's authority, belittling them and so on.
Proverbs 22:24-25 says, "24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go. 25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul."
We should take care to spot signs of a toxic relationship on time and do away with them entirely before they cause irreversible harm to our lives
God bless and may your day be fruitful in Jesus' name.
