Christian marriage components
I’ve been viewing this discussion on the components of Christian marriage on Donal’s post. The fact that we have to call it “Christian marriage” in the first place is bad. Marriage is created by God and defined by God. Hence, … Continue reading
Marital needs, marital wants and maturity
