Maturing Into the Ultimate Marriage
The union of man and woman as husband and wife has its origins in times predating the earth. What we experience and learn in human marriage has implications for the future and eternity that we must consider. Is your marriage maturing into the "one-ness," joy, and ever deepening love God expected? In short, are you experiencing, and do you want to experience the “ultimate marriage?”
