Companionship

The Rev. John Gunn (other)

Love and Marriage

The Rev. John Gunn (other)

In this Episode of Be Still and Know, The Rev. John R Gunn discusses the topic of building a strong marriage. He writes, "physical attraction has its necessary place and romance has its value, but unless we have with these a genuine compatibility of temperament and some loyalty to common principles, the chances are that marriage cannot endure."
