Honestly this is our way of helping you be aware of what the Bible has to say about purity We recognize some of you want to follow the Bible & some of you don’t care. Either way we’re glad you’re here, we’re glad you’re back! We hope this helps you see your relationship accurately Great sex can blind you to major issues in your relationship Communication, misaligned expectations or Jesus…easy to gloss over At the end of the day, we want to help U choose God’s best for your relationship As someone who has been in your shoes, this isn’t easy Prov 3:5-6 – trust in him, lean not on your own understanding We have couples here who have done just that… picture of Chad & Barbara God is NOT trying to rip you off – he wants to give you life to the full Contest winner and prize!
