Summary

God wants us to have lasting relationships and great sex -- the results of a deep, meaningful love that is rooted in commitment. Ingram helps us walk a path to true love that is more fulfilling than we ever imagined. "With a proper understanding of what it means to love and be loved, you can begin doing your relationships differently, or even improve a good one," writes Ingram. "God loves you and wants you to learn how to share your life in a significant way with a person of the opposite sex." So whether you're single or married, happy or searching for hope, your love life can blossom. With God's help, you can create enduring love, sex, and relationships. Book jacket.
