When bodies change, does love change too? Join us for real talk in Episode 6— “B” for Body Changes, and why every couple should discuss this inevitable truth: Every Body changes!

How do you stay "attractive" and "attracted to your mate" when the body changes over time? If you’ve ever wondered about maintaining the passion, connection, and appreciation of your love relationships through the seasons of life, this conversation is for you!

We’re talking about weight gain, wrinkles, sags, and real-life bags that can happen to us all! Yet, the real beauty of our love relationships can only come when we understand that love and attraction go well beyond physical appearance, and they can evolve in ways we don’t always expect.

Explore with us what genuine love looks like after the widening and rounding, gray hairs, glasses, sicknesses, scars, and stretch marks show up and show out! Learn what it means to love your spouse through every version of their outward appearance.

Although our bodies may change, love doesn’t have to fade. Instead, it should deepen, strengthen, and mature into something even more beautiful as you learn to see your loved one the way God sees them — from the inside out!
