About this episode

This episode explores God's intent for lifelong commitment through the Triangular Model of Love, emphasizing a covenant-driven life.

In week two of the series, Love Songs, we explore God’s original intent for lifelong commitment by examining the Triangular Model of Love through the lens of Matthew 19 and Hosea 2. It challenges believers to move away from a "fence-finding" mindset that seeks exits and instead embrace a covenant-driven life rooted in righteousness and justice. By cultivating Chesed (loving-kindness) and a spirit of mercy, couples can build a resilient foundation that honors the sacred bond God has joined together.
