Unforgettable Love Story
Unforgettable Commitment
October 18, 2015 • Marty Martin
The secret of a lasting marriage is summed up in one word: commitment. Not romance. Commitment. It takes far more than romantic feelings to make a marriage last simply because there are times that we or our spouse are not very romantic. There are days when you will be on the mountain top and marriage is all that you hoped it would be. But then there will be days when you are between mountain tops in the valley. Suddenly things are not all that you hoped they would be. Real commitment can and will get you through the days in the valley. But it is not that easy. Most married couples claim to be committed, but do we truly grasp or fully understand the concept? It is a concept that culture has used, abused and improperly modeled for so long that it is easy to lose sight of what genuine commitment looks and acts like. Which is why we concluded the Unforgettable Love series on this subject.
Unforgettable Love

Marriage is a combination of two uniquely individual people. A godly marriage does not happen by chance. To enrich and deepen the relationship takes a lot of hard work. Couples may stay together for the rest of their lives because of the commitment, but may never experience God’s design to be one unless they are totally committed to the marriage. Keep the chemistry with your spouse alive. Be committed to keeping your relationship fresh. Keeping your marriage strong, vibrant and fresh isn’t always easy. But if you put in the time and effort, you’ll discover how truly amazing your marriage can be if we simply feed the fires.
Unforgettable Conflict
October 4, 2015 • Marty Martin
The Prophet Amos asked, “How can two walk together unless they agree?” (Amos 3:3) The obvious answer is, they cannot. Conflict in marriage is inevitable, so the ability to resolve conflict in a way that produces agreement between husband and wife is critical to the success of the marriage. When a couple takes time to review where they’ve come from, where they are, and come to agreement on any conflict, they are able to make tremendous strides in their relationship and in life. This week’s message was on how couples can unplug conflicts and how to plug into God’s plan for marriage.
Unforgettable Romance

When you read the Song of Solomon you think warm fire, Marvin Gaye playing in the background and the woman or man of your dreams silhouetted in the fire. Song of Solomon is the story of a young man and woman who fall in love in the springtime and sing each other songs about their feelings and desires. It is at times both steamy and at times pretty mushy. This book touches on relationships, and romance, and sex. But, at the end of the day it teaches us about love. In week 3 we are looking at sex and intimacy.
Unforgettable Dating
September 20, 2015 • Marty Martin
Let’s be honest: The world of dating is hard to navigate for everyone, but especially for a Christian. Dating in our culture is often portrayed as a feel-good experience. If you feel “right” together, if you’re having fun, if there’s passion, then it must be a good relationship. It’s a mentality that causes us to live in the moment, rather than building a future at the same time. It’s no wonder Christians tend to lose perceptive on dating. Rather than trying to navigate through the world of dating in a healthy way, it’s easier to bend a little and try to keep one foot in Christianity and the other in our culture. We have to remember that dating is the means to discover the right person for you to marry.
