Relationships are bonds and connections between people, including friendship, family, romantic and professional relationship. These relationships, whatever levels, are based on mutual trust, understanding, care, communication, forgiveness, etc.
However, there is something that destroys most relationships, and that is Anger. A very strong emotion, a reaction to a wrong done to one. It's a natural response to something unjust, and something inevitable, but your way of controlling and expressing the anger and the aftermath of the anger is what destroys relationships.
If we talk about families, we see many families torn apart because of anger, either on the part of the husband or on the path of the wife. Romantic relationships between couples (dating and courtship) are no exceptions. Most time, this anger come from lack of trust, when you doubt your partner.
Professional relationships are included too. Hardly would you see people leave a workplace where the boss is calm and relative. But when the boss is always angry about things done, you'll see employees unable to bear the boss, straining their relationship, eventually leading to resignation.
Moreover, friendships suffer from uncontrolled anger too. When you can't talk things out and just resort to being angry and "back out", the friendship will be destroyed, and except you let go of your pride and apologize, there'll be no reformation.
Lest you forget, there's also relationship with God. When you've cried and prayed for a particular thing and God does not answer, telling you it's not His time yet, you get really angry that you forget about God, the creator and giver of life, leaving you spiritually weak and dead.
