Differences in Marriage
Today, the Robertson's shared some thoughts on marriage. They shared about God's original design for our marriages and how things changed due to "the fall"/man's sinful choice. Man's sinful choice in the Garden of Eden set up the struggles and conflicts that we face in marriage today. You can listen to today's talk, by clicking HERE.
