Communicate in Code

August 19, 2018 John Burke

Having healthy relationships is a pretty common goal, but achieving that goal can be a real challenge. Why is that? Why is it so tough to have happy relationships and to make those relationships last? It often seems as if many of us are better at killing relationships than keeping them. Extensive relationship research coupled with God’s guidance could be the key to getting it right.
