Cultivating a Love that Lasts

Guest Speakers: Pastor Steve and Rita Woolverton

Sustaining a Love in the marital relationship that never ends requires that both persons have a passion for one another, an intimacy beyond any other person, and a commitment that is grounded in Scripture.

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. - 1 Corinthians 13:7
