With so many relationship disasters all around us, have you wondered if it’s even possible for anyone to be a part of a true love story?  Maybe you notice that many people don’t “do it right,” but also believe it’s wrong to set up a false pretense, or to not be involved.  Could we be missing the point when we try to define terms like dating and courtship, and should our real focus be on seeking God’s heart?

As in every other area of life, key Biblical principles are critical when it comes to relationships.  Principles such as, “Without consultation, plans are frustrated,
but with many counselors they succeed” (Proverbs 15:22); “Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17); “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm” (Proverbs 13:20); “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.  Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth” (Ephesians 6:1-3); and “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4).  Are these just great Bible verses, or can they mean the life or death of our relationships?

In this section, you will discover how God writes true love stories, how to enjoy a magnificent marriage and the power of winning with people.
