   Hey all, I know that I just posted some of my thoughts recently, but God just brought something really amazing into my life and I want to share it with you. For the last 5 or 6 years, I have been pressing hard into what it means to love God with all of my heart. I truly desire to be the best lover of God that I possibly can be. And as you probably figured out in my post "A Theology of Romance," I believe that to love God well, I have to learn the art of love. That applies to my whole life, including my relationship with my lover. If you are married, this applies to your relationship with your spouse. If you are engaged, this applies to your relationship with your fiance. If you are dating, this applies to your relationship with your date... and so on. You need to learn how to love the people in your life, especially your if you are to love God well. So to learn intimate love for God, we can learn a lot from our romantic relationships.
   So I would challenge you to set aside an hour of your time. This video from Mark & Grace Driscoll is very worth your time. It reveals a lot about the basic foundation that any healthy marriage (but you don't have to be married to watch this) is built upon: friendship. It is the second message in his Real Marriage series called "Friend with Benefits."
