yall that we were going to be spending some time in February focusing on Loveand Marriage! And I don’t mean to let you down!
Today, I
want to focus on a huge aspect of our marriages. Probably one of the most
important things you can do for your marriage! Last week, we discussed the
Purpose of Marriage. God is our purpose....He is the focus and the glue that
