2. 17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
1 JOHN 4:7
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
PROVERBS 17:17

3. A LOVE RELATIONSHIP IS AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP
HOW DO YOU BEGIN?
WHERE DO YOU END?
IF THERE IS AN ENDING- WHAT HAPPENS IN THE INTERIM?

4. “BONDING”
Bonding refers to the emotional covenant that links a man and a woman together for life and makes them intensely valuable to one another. It is the specialness that set those two lovers apart from every other couple on the face of the earth. It is God’s gift of companionship to those who have experienced it. (Love For A LIFE TIME P.30 JAMES DOBSON)
