I do think relationships, just like any event that happens in our lives, helps to develop and shape who we are as time goes on. Nobody can really reform or transcend who a person is unless you give them such consent (to which case I'd say a person really doesn't respect themselves, but who am I to judge...)
We are social beings, designed to have empathy, to work as teams, to be part of a family, a group, to communicate.
We talk, we express all our ideas in language which is based on relationship, on sharing. We benefit from learning of our societies, our shops, food, electronics. We could not exist without relationships, it is the definition of life itself.
At our core love calls out to our parents, no matter how good or bad they are. After being hurt, and lost, we withdraw and deny our needs, and let few in or any, so stopping the pain or love from being recognised or even expressed.
Jesus and his gospel is about getting healing for this pain and learning to let the love out, and become strong enough to survive the blows of rejection and positive praise and sharing. The Kingdom is about sharing from the heart and finding real joy. It is sad when people end in defeat in this area, and do not find freedom, but I can declare there is real love and hope in Jesus.....

In my entire life, I have only really, truly connected with one person so I don't know how much help I can be. I believe that relationships develop because both people admire each other, share common interests, share a similar back story, and they just click. This can happen in any sort of relationship. I do think sometimes we may try to find ourselves in a relationship and that can be a good or bad thing.
I don't see how it is possible to serve God without developing relationships, either personal, business, friends, strangers, romantic, family, etc. Yes, there will always be an interaction that may affect us to one degree or another. Of course, this depends on what you allow to affect you. At times, it may be necessary to allow ourselves to become vulnerable so that the one you are trying to communicate with will have a better understanding of who you are and what you are attempting to convey.
Why are relationships developed? Um... Why not? It's fun to talk to people, and it's easier to talk to people who already know you.
(Unless you have to chase and trap the people because they DO already know you and run from you because they know you... in which case it's probably easier to talk to total strangers... but that's beside the point.)
The guy I think of as my best friend outside of my family, a guy at church, is a friend with which I have little in common. He tells me about his stunt bike tricks, I tell him about trying out a batch of pickled eggs for the first time, he goes on about learning russian, I talk about running a whole computer system from a flash drive... we listen to each other talk and learn something about each other's universe. The single only thing we have in common - aside from being pentecostals of course - is that we both really enjoy dark chocolate and both have a tendency toward good quality chocolate.
Why did we become friends? Not just because of chocolate, I guarantee it. We just like to talk and are willing to listen while the other person talks. We're both enthusiasts about what we do, and we both appreciate the enthusiasm with which the other dives into whatever he's doing.

Relationships develop because it's a learning process. I know with God, my family, and friends, a lot of problems were caused because I hadn't quite developed the knowledge to know the other person's like and dislikes enough. Bring in why it's vital to spend time in a relationship, so that you can learn! Relationships are used to further the ones involved in life together, not just you personally, but the other person as well. Relationships work two ways. ( Except with God, He's quite the expert. Just me on that relationship).
