What makes a marriage last? And what does God's relationship with the church teach us about our own marriages? In this heart-to-heart conversation, Aaron and Allen explore "the greatest love affair" – the profound love God has for His church and how it serves as the divine blueprint for our most intimate relationships.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13 and Ephesians 5, we unpack the challenging standard set before husbands: to love their wives as Christ loved the church. It's a sacrificial, unconditional love that few of us fully grasp. Through personal stories and confessions, we acknowledge our own shortcomings in showing sufficient gratitude and attention in our marriages – even after 40+ years together.

The discussion takes an insightful turn when we examine how relationships require intentional nurturing. Remember the excitement of dating, when you couldn't wait to talk to that special someone? We challenge listeners to approach both their marriage and their relationship with God with that same hunger and passion. Are you still "dating" your spouse after all these years? Are you pursuing God with the same enthusiasm you had as a new believer?

We share wisdom from a couple married 62 years who revealed their simple secret: "Make the other one feel special." The husband still says "thank you" after every meal and "I love you" every night before bed – consistent expressions of gratitude that mirror what our relationship with God should include.

Whether you're married, single, or somewhere in between, this episode offers profound insights about communication, gratitude, and the transformative power of agape love. Join us for a conversation that will challenge you to examine your relationships through the lens of the greatest love story ever told.
