NOTE: I’m not currently married –so I’m by NO MEANS an expert on this whole marriage thing — but I’d say this post is most definitely applicable to Christian relationships… or… loving relationships of any kind.
Sounds good doesn’t it?
A Marriage relationship or Christian relationship is 50/50. Equal.
It’s often given advice that sounds logical.
