"When God Writes Your Love Story"

I thoroughly enjoyed Eric and Leslie Ludy's book. They speak about a "sweeter song" - a better kind of love; one that is lasting, unconditional and self-sacrificing - a love based not upon "feelings," but rather on a choice.
Eric and Leslie each experienced a pivotal moment in their lives when each of them had a change of heart, causing them to view dating, guy/girl relationships and parental involvement in a whole new light. Difficult in the beginning, but rewarding in the end, was their decision to give God - the author of romance- control of their "love lives," as well as their decision to invite their parent's help. They strongly encourage parental involvement - not in the way of arranged marriages, but in protecting, guiding and enhancing the romance.

They emphasize the importance of physical and emotional purity and how you can be honoring and loving your future spouse even before you meet. "She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life."  -Proverbs 31:12 (emphasis added). Leslie writes: "Two people who have saved themselves completely - inwardly, outwardly, emotionally, and physically - coming together to love each other for a lifetime with the purest, most uninhibited love imaginable... this is romance in its truest form! This is God's perfect design for you! This is the "sweeter song"! And it's something we can begin to work toward right now!"

We each of us have our ideals of the man or woman whom we would like to marry, not necessarily in terms of physical appeal, but in character. (i.e. a man of integrity who is humble, honest, sincere, honorable, sensitive, a leader with a servant's heart, etc...) Where do those natural desires come from? They are the character traits of Christ Jesus and He's the one who instilled them in us. Our love story with Mr. or Ms. ________ should be reflective of our love story with our Heavenly Prince. A love story written by Him goes beyond what we could ever imagine!

Are you willing to give God the pen of your love story? He makes no mistakes.
