WISDOM IN ROMANCE

- WISDOM: The art of living skillfully in whatever actual conditions we find ourselves. -

When we guide romance with wisdom, we have SKILLFUL romance - romance that is directed by what is true about God and about the world He has made.

Romance without wisdom will soon take a nosedive. It becomes selfish, indulgement and even idolatrous. Have you been in a relationship like this? Have you witnessed such a relationship in the life of a friend? What was it missing? The answer is WISDOM.

Its not enough to simply have romantic feelings. Anyone can do that! Long- lasting romance needs practical, common-sense wisdom that knows when to let the wind of feelings carry us higher and when to pull back. When to express our emotions and when to keep quiet. When to open our hearts and when to rein them in.
