This is a vital topic because so much is at stake. Depending on your frame of mind, your past track record, and the condition of your heart, you will hear things in this discussion that will either bother you or really encourage you.

What is marriage? Is a wedding necessary? A ring? A celebration? We’ll take a look at the Biblical description of marriage and how it stands alone among all other relationships.

And what is dating exactly? We’ll try to convince you of a new way to approach it – because it will save you a ton of heartache. And, no, we’re not just talking about a new word for the same idea. It’s about your motivations more than your vocabulary. We’ve said too much already. Maybe just listen to the episode.
