[note color="#ECFF9C"]Another blog that I recommend is One Flesh Marriage. Over there, Brad and Kate Aldrich blog about having an Ephesians 5, "one flesh" marriage. The "one flesh" concept applies to sex, of course; however, it applies to so much more than that. Take some time to familiarize yourself with their resources - I recommend them. Below is a guest post from Brad Aldrich - enjoy![/note] A wedding is a celebration of love, a time to publicly declare your intentions to spend the rest of your lives loving each other.

A Sure Way to Lose the Relationship Game
Some of us are naturally born competitors. When a challenge is presented, we're off and running to the finish line with little concern for what's in the dust behind us.
