Relationships by Alan and Marti Wibbels

Let’s face it: relationships are an important part of most people’s lives. It’s not just a human thing to desire marriage; God has planned marriage for almost everyone. But what does a godly relationship look like? Alan and Marti Wibbels explain the difference between a relationship that glorifies God and a relationship based upon worldly values. Students will learn how a true relationship does not enslave us into dependency on others, but frees us to be in blessed union with another.
