In seasons when hearts and minds steer into the sometimes murky waters of romance, some find occasion to get all tingly, while others find themselves navigating through a field of landmines.

As we continue our journey into this special kind of love, Mike and Karen Rozenblum from the Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale help find a path of safety. They explain why what she says isn't always what he hears. And while the world doesn't adhere to the same standards that followers of Jesus do, the Rozenblums also provide a few guardrails that can keep your romance from going over the cliff.

"Premarital Classes: Romance and Intimacy" by Mike and Karen Rozenblum

PRAY

Father, if there is anybody who understands how language works, it's You. You confused their speech at the Tower of Babel. You unified spirits through men of stammering tongues at the day of Pentecost. Help us, Lord, to understand one another when we speak the same language on the outside but may mean different things on the inside. Help us deal with each other in clarity that we can love each other with charity. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
