Romantic relationships have the tendency of veering off track. But there is hope. I believe God’s Word can help us initiate strong romantic relationships.
I’ve written a blog about this already. But I thought it would be a good idea to make a podcast about Romantic Relationships and how God plays a role in it.
Today you will be listening to the second part of the talk that I gave at LOFT City Church. The topic I am addressing is “God Centered Romantic Relationships”.
