But the Bible Doesn’t Answer “OUR” Marriage Issues…

Oh man. This is a common thought, huh? It is not one that is vocalized often, but sometimes it sneakily creeps into the back of our minds.

The Unlucky Marriage

Luck (n.) things that happen to a person because of chance; the accidental way things happen without being planned I think its funny how often our culture attaches luck to love. I love the song “Lucky I’m in Love With My Best Friend.” It is so cute and fun. The truth is most happy marriages […]
