Whether you're married, dating, or just navigating messy relationships, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on intimacy, conflict, and the kind of love that fights to stay. You’ll laugh, you’ll reflect, and maybe even rethink what healthy love looks like.📖 Includes commentary on marriage, conflict, physical intimacy, and spiritual reflection. 🪴 Spoiler alert: There's talk of “myrrh,” worst dates, and possibly locking yourself in a walk-in fridge.🎧 Subscribe for more honest conversations about the Bible and real life.=============================Scripture=============================📖 Song of Songs 5:2–6:3=============================Reflection Questions:=============================✅ When you think about your closest relationships, are you more comfortable with passion or with vulnerability?
