My
boyfriend Greg and I decided to create this blog to give you a personal
perspective of a Christian courtship that seeks to be Christ-centered. When we
began dating, I noticed that there were not many blogs, articles, or
information in general on what a biblical relationship should look like.

new relationship, or in a relationship, that you will be able to be
encouraged by our insight on biblical courtship. It is our prayer that
through this blog, you see a real couple seeking to honor Christ in
every aspect of their relationship, and that you are encouraged to do
the same.

It says “ 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. (ESV)” Here, there is a command, an example, and purpose, and an ultimate goal. The command is for husbands to love their...
