From someone who has promised me, "I will never leave you or forsake you." Someone who has never broken a promise. Someone who backed up His promise with His life. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-mistakes-we-make-for-love-6795 2013-01-25T11:00:24-05:00 After every "I want" should come four little words that mark the road to God's best. "It's up to Jesus." It's often our broken dreams and our messed up plans that turn our heart in God's direction. And that's where we finally find the love and the purpose that we were made for; that we've looked for our whole life. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/no-cinder-blocks-please-6680 2012-08-17T10:51:52-05:00 Here's an important word for us guys. Don't wait until it's a crisis to give her your attention. She may be letting it build up, because she can't find a way into your life, you're so busy. You've always got something else to do other than listen to her. Listen to her needs; listen to her heart; listen to those frustrations and problems when they're small, when they're manageable. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/every-sister-needs-a-brother-6539 2012-02-02T10:18:25-05:00 Women, remember the kind of bait you offer determines the kind of catch you get. Act like you want brothers. Act like you want guys who will be friends, not users; not conquerors. And men, cultivate sisters; a level of sharing and caring that the sexual conquerors will never even get close to. Treat her like family. She's your sister, man! And every sister needs a brother. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/a-better-way-to-make-matches-6447 2011-09-27T14:08:03-05:00 Couldn't we work toward a better goal than everybody pairing up; a kingdom of men and women who want to be friends, not lovers? Out of that can come some really strong marriages, because, you know what? Marriage isn't the ultimate sexual conquest, it's the ultimate friendship. So, start practicing now. http://intervarsity.org/greek/resources/2474 2008-02-13T13:56:04-05:00 What are the top qualities you look for in a spouse? What about the qualities you have to give to someone? What are the greatest needs of men and women anyway? Check out this Bible study to investigate the answers to these other questions.
