Christianity has been doing a deep-dive study of personal relationships for 2000 years. In fact, Christianity was the formal logical system which first invented the term "person."
Even if you don't believe Jesus is God, the results of a long-term study performed across multiple cultures for two thousand years is going to be a bit more reliable than something some yahoo just thought up last week while reading Kerouac. The beauty of Christian teaching isn't the Christ-elements, so much as it is the consistency of the personal relationship teachings. Any teaching which hasn't changed for 2000 years is probably something we need to keep, at least until we fully understand everything it is doing in the culture.
