This week is Valentine’s Day, and you’re probably being bombarded from every angle with the world’s idea of love, romance, and marriage. But what does the Bible have to say about that? And how about some “been there, done that” godly counsel from your older sisters in Christ?
Between us, my A Word Fitly Spoken podcast co-host, Amy Spreeman and I have over 60 years experience as wives. We recently sat down and recorded Love and Marriage, an episode about biblical love and godly marriage. Have you listened yet?

Or maybe you’re single and you’d like to hear what Scripture says to you:

Hello, this is off topic, however This has been hanging on me heavily for awhile, and was wondering if you may provide some insight.
My main question is this: How do you handle regret?
-I was in a relationship that steered away from a biblical one, and naturally ended in ruin, however I was the one who made the vast majority of the missteps. I still dearly care for this person, however I’ve hurt them significantly, both emotionally and in their mental state. I can no longer even apologize to them as I have no way to contact them. I know I have done wrong, and have repented, but it still feels off without being able to ask forgiveness from that person aswell. How do I move on without feeling so burdened? How do I accept that God has forgiven me for hurting someone so dearly?
