No two people are alike, and if by some miracle they are, they won’t automatically like each other for it. We are people with brokenness, sinful desires, and bad histories, so it is inevitable conflict will come. Christina and I have our fair share of misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and selfishness. Fortunately, we always get back to forgiveness, communication, and love. Rather than stay stuck in a crazy cycle of conflict, we have found there are attitudes which underpin a healthy relationship.

Groaning for Resurrection
(Romans 8:18-25)
Nearly 2,000 years ago, on a Sunday morning a couple of days removed from the Passover, in Israel, a group of women went to a tomb. Their beloved teacher, leader, and friend had been crucified. They had hoped he was the one to save the world from its chaos and brokenness. Instead, he had suffered and died at the hands of jealous religious leaders, the Roman government, and a bloodthirsty mob.

Seth's Line
(Genesis 4:25-5:32)
Here, when Adam and Eve have another son, they called him Seth. His name might mean something like seat or buttocks or new beginning or foundation.

Cain and Abel
(Genesis 4:1-17)
Here, we learn Adam knew Eve, which is the Bible's way of saying they knew one another in the act of sex . As an aside, this should be instructive concerning sex. To God, sex isn't the mere collision of bodies who are out for a good time.

A married couple is to know one another. (10 Minutes/2500 Words)
