BE MINE: BACK IN THE BOX

Ever receive a gift that is just too hard to operate? And when you can’t figure it out, or it doesn’t work right, it just seems easier to put it away, or return it to the store. Many people feel that way about their marriage. They know that marriage is a gift – among the highest callings of God – but when it comes time to live it out, it just seems so complicated.

But what if marriage worked out like it’s supposed to? What if marriage was the fulfillment of dreams rather than the exposure of unmet expectations? In this new Cornerstone series, we’ll take a look at the secret of a great marriage – one you’ll enjoy forever.
