Read MoreThese love quotes for him will help make your man feel special. Too many of us think only women appreciate a good, loving message, but your King will appreciate it, too.

Read MoreOur typical images of romantic, married love picture a couple facing each other, eyes locked in mutual affection. And for good reason. Adam’s first words to Eve were a serenade. In the Song of Solomon, the whole world serves as backdrop to the beauty of the beloved. And one day, our Lord Jesus will “present the church to himself in splendor” (Ephesians 5:27), a bride adorned and deeply adored. While friends typically stand “side by side, absorbed in some common interest,” C.S. Lewis writes, “lovers are normally face to face, absorbed in each other” (The Four Loves, 61).
Read MoreWe know marriage is hard. We all learn that by the second week. But there are different kinds of hard. There is hard and hopeful, and there is hard and hopeless. The most difficult marriage, of course, is the one that is hard, distant, and with little reason to think it will change. In some of those cases, there might not be overt betrayal or cruel behavior or blatant sins that children would see. Instead, the marriage is . . . disappointing, lifeless, lonely.

So if you are a true believer in Jesus, you will sit on the throne of the Son of God who sits on the throne of God the Father.
Read MoreA young man meets a girl. The whole world looks different when he sees her. Her voice reminds him of something he has been trying to remember all his life, and ten minutes’ casual chat with her is more precious than all the favors that all the other women in the world could grant. He is, as they say, “in love.” (Meditations in a Toolshed, C.S. Lewis)
Read MoreBefore romance became an ally for me, it was a terrorist, because it had become a god. It was a subtle god, of course. But subtle gods — money, sports, career success, relationships — often wield more functional authority than the gods of organized religion. You may find more devotion in sports arenas, movie theaters, board meetings, and social media threads than in many pews. And the worshipers of those gods gather seven days a week. Through my teens and twenties, I read my Bible regularly and rarely missed church, but if you watched really closely, you might have assumed that marriage, not God, was the only pleasure great enough to fill my restless soul.
Read MoreWhat men want can seem like quite the puzzle, but don’t worry, we will help you put the pieces together. Over 25 percent of the adult population in Nigeria is single, which is not much different from other countries. You can panic about this, knowing that you’re one of them. Or, you can look at the bright side: a giant pool of singles is waiting for you.
