If you would like to accomplish this programmatically, you could inspect the describe information in order to find a lookup field which points to the main object. This would roughly look like the following snippet:

Schema.sObjectType parentType = MainObject__c.sObjectType;

List<Schema.SObjectField> fieldList = obj.getDescribe().fields.getMap().values();

for (Schema.SObjectField field : fieldList) {
    Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldDesc = field.getDescribe();

    if (Schema.DisplayType.ID == fieldDesc.getType() &&
        new Set<Schema.sObjectType>(fieldDesc.getReferenceTo()).contains(parentType)) {

        System.debug('Found valid relationship with main object');
    }
}

You can use the Schema Builder to accomplish this.
